Be aware, there seem to be some HOWTOs floating around which configure
the authenticators in Exim wrong, especially if used with an SQL
backend.

If I remember correctly, the problem is like this: The wrong
configuration wrongly authenticates a connection if the given user does
_not_ exist and an empty/NULL password is used due to a missing {fail}
in the condition.

You may want to post your authenticator configuration so the list
members can have a look at it.
