Exim SMTP authentication

Hi everyone,

I. Issue:

What are the specific authentication mechanisms supported by Firebase
Authenticator, such as whether it uses a standard SMTP authentication
mechanism like PLAIN, LOGIN, or CRAM-MD5, or if it requires a custom
authentication to transport email messages from my Exim mail server to
Google Firebase Authenticator?

II. Workaround:

URL link to the Exim SMTP authentication:
https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-smtp_authentication.html

III. Results

The Firebase authenticators <YOUR_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL> :
<PATH_TO_KEY_FILE_WITH_JSON_EXT> are not applicable for sending outbound
email messages from Exim mail server.

Email messages are not delivered to designated email addresses. There are
no send error messages.

IV. Resolution
Send outbound email messages from Exim mail server to the Firebase
authenticator.

Thanks,
Hal

You're asking the wrong people. If it belongs to Google, ask Google.

[...]

If "Firebase Authenticator" is a SMTP server software your question
should be directed at its support channels instead of here. OTOH if
"Firebase Authenticator" is not a SMTP server software then your question
does not make sense.
