Whoops, well untested it was :). Attached is a patch that tries to
implement support for PAM (it also includes the shadow patch and
the changes you made). This patch is untested but it compiles. 

I used the service_name zmailer_smtpauth, is there a standard name for
this service?

Autoconf searches for security/pam_appl.h and shadow.h. PAM is preferred
over shadow and and shadow is preferred over regular passwd in that
order ... my autoconf skills sucks. If you encounter problems with 
undefined reference messages when compiling smtpserver, remove the
-lshadow statement from smtpserver/Makefile.


Apply with: cd zmailer-2.99.51-pre3;zcat smtpauth-shadow-pam.gz | patch -p1


Magnus.
