First an apology to the dev-list: I didn't notice that email copies of tickets
don't include the real name, only the email address. C'est moi, Phil Pennock.

Suggested text extra paragraph in section 36, before 36.1, covering another
related topic below; I don't off-hand remember when Exim does or does not
filter the environment so someone should sanity-check that part:

The application name provided by Exim is "exim", so various SASL options may be
set in "exim.conf" in your SASL directory. If using GSSAPI for Kerberos please
note that ecause of limitations in the GSSAPI interface, changing the server
keytab might need to be communicated down to the Kerberos layer independently.
The mechanism for doing so is dependent upon the Kerberos implementation. Eg,
for Heimdal the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME may be set to point to an
alternative keytab file. Exim will pass this variable through from its own
inherited environment when started as root or the Exim user. The keytab file
needs to be readable by the Exim user.


I believe that that should provide sufficient information for anyone wanting to
set it up. I have GSSAPI authentication working quite nicely with Exim;
mulberry is a client which supports it. Transparent ticket-based
authentication for email submission is nice. :-)

-Phil
