SMTP authentication #20

Open jicho opened 1 year ago

Hi,

First of all, thanks for this nice project!

I have a little question, is it possible to add SMTP authentication to the implementation? I did found this blog where the writer tells you how to add it to a normal installation: https://bobcares.com/blog/exim4-smtp-authentication/

I can, of course, use the config of this project, change it and make it persistent... When I do that I might miss some future updates.

The reason behind this question is that the self hosted version of n8n is requiring and SMTP username and password when you want to activate user management. And I must admit that I do like the idea that only authenticated projects can use the exim-relay. You never know when your computer gets infected and starts sending emails using the :25 on your network ;)

Exim configuration is black magic.. If you'd like to tackle this (either via a project fork or by making it configurable somehow), please go ahead!

One would have to adopt and parameterise e.g. : https://www.wogri.com/tutorials/exim/
