Correct. Putting 'exim' there didn't do anything for me...I had to
use 'saslauthd' with the stuff I mentioned earlier. I'm using the
stock version of cyrus-sasl from Gentoo's ebuild.

I think I recall seeing the service name defined in the exim source
(4.51 is what was out when I played with this) as 'smtp'. Someone
could review the source or Philip could chime in to find out.
