Did you update pam at the same time as exim? This kind of error may
happen if exim has been compiled with another version of pam than the
one on the system. On atrpms.net, I only see rpms for RHEL4, maybe your
Centos has another version of the pam libs than RHEL. They don't seem to
specify the patchlevel necessary to install the packages. Just a guess.
