I have Exim-postgreSQL + Dovecot on several FreeBSD 4.11 & 6.2PR boxes, at least a couple that can be spared for testing. *However* - as we presently use an unrelated authentication method, where and at what, should I look - in an MUA (Moz/T-bird?) as well as Exim - to insure that I emulate whatever it is that this is intended to be used for? - List of necessaries? - Sample authenticator code, anyone?
