I use saslauthd on FreeBSD which works very nicely. The authenticator
looks like this:
######################################################################
# AUTHENTICATION CONFIGURATION #
######################################################################
# There are no authenticator specifications in this default configuration file.
begin authenticators
plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
server_condition = ${if saslauthd{{$2}{$3}}{1}{0}}
login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
server_condition = ${if saslauthd{{$1}{$2}}{1}{0}}
In this way, Exim queries saslauthd when provided with user/pass data
and in turn saslauthd checks the validity of the data against using the
configured method (PAM by default).
