Dear All,
I have configured exim auth conf to use saslauthd for smtp auth.
When I try to use "exim4 -bh 127.0.0.1" to test my configuration.
It shows "Unable to authenticate at present: cannot connect to saslauthd daemon at /var/run/saslauthd/mux: Permission denied"
following is the brief message on my console
***********************************************
EHLO localhost

But I had already add Debian-exim into sasl group. And also changed the directory permission of /var/run/saslauthd to 710
***********************************************
myhost:/var/run/saslauthd# groups Debian-exim
Debian-exim : Debian-exim sasl
myhost:/var/run/saslauthd# ls -al

Can anyone give me suggestion where should I check?
Thank you all.
