You have changed permissions on /etc/shadow
I would expect that to turn nasty on you at some point - ie selinux
might decide to do something about that, and/or any upgrade may fix the
permissions, locking out your mail service.
Ideally someone would modify pam_exim (or better pam_unix so its:-
* Vaguely acceptible
* Can support checks from a specific user specified in the pam
control file rather than a separate hard compiled in user.
You have basically just re-implemented the old shadow password fixes -
just use the file directly having modded the permissions.
