I use the functions within SMTP AUTH, this is configured somewhere in
the auth-section. (I don't have my config with me on my laptop ;-)
The functions get called correctly and when I just let them return
"yes", relaying is accepted. Therefore the function itsself and the auth
config seems to work correctly.
I tried perl_at_start because I read in the docs that Perl would then
be started with setuid privileges.

Well, anyway, Exim can't read /etc/shadow.
