what flag do i need to set in recompiling exim4 to enable dovecot-sasl support? i tried --enable-dovecot-sasl but exim4 still reported dovecot driver error.
AUTH_DOVECOT=yes in Makefile

hi!
i'm trying to do smtp authentication using dovecot and exim4 by following this guide http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/ EximAndDovecotSASL.
for the exim4 part, i got an
authenticator dovecot: cannot find authenticator driver "dovecot"
error after i entered the codes in /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template and reloaded exim4 with the update-exim4.conf command.
i'm running debian lenny.
here's the authentication section of exim4.conf.template:
begin authenticators
cram_md5:
  driver = cram_md5
  public_name = CRAM-MD5
  client_name = ${extract{1}{:}{${lookup{$
host}nwildlsearch{CONFDIR/ passwd.client}{$value}fail}}}
client_secret = ${extract{2}{:}{${lookup{$ host}nwildlsearch{CONFDIR/ passwd.client}{$value}fail}}}
PASSWDLINE=${sg{\
                ${lookup{$host}nwildlsearch{ CONFDIR/passwd.client}{$value} fail}

}

{\\N[\\^]\\N}

{^^}

}
plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
.ifndef AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_ PASSWORDS
client_send = "<; ${if !eq{$tls_cipher}{}

{^${extract{1}{:}{PASSWDLINE}} 

^${sg{PASSWDLINE}{\\N([^:]+:)( .*)\\N}{\\$2}}

}fail}"
.else
client_send = "<; ^${extract{1}{:}{PASSWDLINE}}

^${sg{PASSWDLINE}{\\N([^:]+:)( .*)\\N}{\\$2}}"
.endif
login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
.ifndef AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_ PASSWORDS
  # Return empty string if not non-TLS AND looking up $host in passwd-file
# yields a non-empty string; fail otherwise.
client_send = "<; ${if and{

{!eq{$tls_cipher}{}}\
                          {!eq{PASSWDLINE}{}}

}

{}fail}

; ${extract{1}{::}{PASSWDLINE}}

; ${sg{PASSWDLINE}{\\N([^:]+:)(. *)\\N}{\\$2}}"
.else
# Return empty string if looking up $host in passwd-file yields a
# non-empty string; fail otherwise.
client_send = "<; ${if !eq{PASSWDLINE}{}

{}fail}

; ${extract{1}{::}{PASSWDLINE}}\

.endif
