You should be able to see it from the scripts that are used to build the 
.deb, which you get when
you 'apt-get source exim'. But I think PAM _is_ compiled in, cause I use 
it know. The only problem
I had, is that it couldn't auth against /etc/shadow because exim runs as 
mail:mail out of the .deb.
Am I right when I think you have compiled exim to run as root, that 
would explain why it works
now all of a sudden.
