Notice that the value of "subject" is not the same as the value of
"crypted". That's why the authentication is rejected. The first is the
value obtained by encrypting the first argument of crypteq; the second
is the value of the second argument.
You might like to play with "exim -be" to do some expansion tests to try
to figure out what's happening.
