Hi, it looks like your using a debian.
I was been given the following information from Marc Haber a while back,
I think this still applies:

Usual Permissions required on Exim Binaries
owner: root, group: root, permissions: 4755 (suid root)

Usual Permissions required on Config Files
owner:exim, group:exim, permissions:644

It seems that _anyone_ can read, write and execute your config file.

Thanks
Jason Meers
