that allows use of Dovecot's native sasl implementation as an

'official'?
thanks,
richard

questions:
(1) with 'recent' updates to both dovecot/exim, is that patch still required?
(2) if so, is that patch still viable/safe against 4.63?
(3) can anyone provide a _specific_ example of the exim config(s...
