Is there any way to set up Exim to do password authentication
for host-auth-accept-relay using PAM? I've read chapter 33
(authentication) of the Exim manual, but it only describes how
to add a single user name - I'd like to allow any user with
a valid account on my machine to use their regular
Some packages install their docs in /usr/share/doc, but don't
add a symlink to /usr/doc -- is it ok for me to manually add
those symlinks after installation, or will that cause problems
with dpkg when it tries to update or remove those packages down
the road?
Thanks,

I've read through the Exim man page and the config
file, but I couldn't figure out how to set up exim
quite how I need it; can anyone offer any advice?

I suspect that this is because Mutt is sending the message
