From the FAQ:
Q0037: I can't seem to figure out why PAM support doesn't work correctly.
A0037: There is a problem using PAM on Linux with shadow passwords when the
calling program is not running as root. Exim is normally running as the
Exim user when authenticating a remote host. I don't know of an easy
resolution to this.
