Hi Guys,

Not sure whether I have stumbled across a bug or perhaps I have
misconfigured something. I am trying to get SMTP auth to work using
SASL. Auth is failing and in the exim log:

2011-07-27 12:51:59 login_saslauthd_server authenticator failed for
([IP.IP.IP.IP]) [IP.IP.IP.IP]: 435 Unable to authenticate at present
(set_id=alex): support for "saslauthd" not compiled

I checked the Local/Makefile and it's definately enabled.

root@srv:~/exim-4.76# cat Local/Makefile | grep -i sasl
AUTH_CYRUS_SASL=yes
# If you specified AUTH_CYRUS_SASL above, you should ensure that you
have the
# Cyrus SASL library installed before trying to build Exim, and you
probably
AUTH_LIBS=-lsasl2

OS is Ubuntu 11.04 64 Bit - I am not using a precompiled package as you
can see. I have compiled from source.

Any ideas on where to start looking or should I file a bug report?

Cheers,
Alex.
