Thanks Alexander - to be honest I think I'll go with this option and build pwcheck alone from
the cyrus-sasl suite and authenticate against it as you mention above. I did read about that
option in the auth section of the 4.14 refdocs here:
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.10/doc/html/spec_2.html#IX29
and here:
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.10/doc/html/spec_11.html#IX655
The fact exim has an interface to pwcheck built in makes it very appealing.
