Hello.
If I missed something in the docs please point me in the correct
direction.

The setup is as follows: We have exim 3.13 running on a Solaris 2.6 box,
linked against MySQL (version 3.22.30) and use it for authentication.
Authentication works fine, but as soon as Exim starts the delivery
process: it dies with an error message:

/usr/local/bin/exim: fatal: libmysqlclient.so.6: open failed:
No such file or directory

Though libmysqlclient is in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH. At least it was when
the initial Exim was started. If I create a link to that library in
/usr/lib everything works as expected. Below is what exim -d9 -bd gives:

root% echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/local/lib:/local/lib/mysql
root% exim -d9 -bd

I am not sure what to make of this. Any hints are highly appreciated
