correct.. its built as root. I couldnt figure out how to build it to
run as mail. So how do I get the one that runs as root to be able to
auth. I think you just educated me that non-root apps cant auth against
PAM?

It does not seem to support PAM. I installed exim via apt-get and it
could not authorize users to send mail. I built exim from source and
it authenticated fine.
Thanks
You should be able to see it from the scripts that are used to build the
.deb, which you get when
you 'apt-get source exim'. But I think PAM _is_ compiled in, cause I use
it know. The only problem
I had, is that it couldn't auth against /etc/shadow because exim runs as
mail:mail out of the .deb.
Am I right when I think you have compiled exim to run as root, that
would explain why it works
now all of a sudden.
