Note that this (a) requires exim to be properly using initgroups() for its
routing (not sure if it does by default), and (b) won't work on anything
but plaintext authentication.
I have a patch to properly use libsasl2 with Exim, but it's currently somewhat
of a work in progress as I found that I didn't quite understand exim's memory
handling as much as I'd first thought.
I believe it's OK now, however (I only care about releasing my allocations in
the initialiser, which is a part of the long-lived process), so if you want
to try it, it's available at:
http://colon.colondot.net/~mbm/ald-stuff/exim.cyrussasl.patch
with MD5 sum:
88a4751b754228464306bb60a86d4a87
I'll keep the list up-to-date if I find more problems there.
