hi all,

per the exim docs @:

    http://exim.org/exim-html-4.62/doc/html/spec_html/ch36.html


a cyrus_sasl authenticator driveer is 'included' in exim core.

given that Dovecot has become a very attractive alternative for an
increasing number of folks, and there's a patch against exim 4.43 here:

    http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/AuthenticatedSmtpUsingDovecot


that allows use of Dovecot's native sasl implementation as an
authenticator, and that is _seems_ to apply against 4.63 ok, might it
be possible to get this integrated into exim core, and have it become
'official'?

thanks,

richard
