Circa 2000-Aug-07 12:53:21 -0400 dixit Dave C.:

: Exim does a set_euid() call to set the id to the user its delivering
: mail to when making local deliveries.
:
: Either you need to set the exim group, and make sure /var/spool/mail is
: chmog g+w, and is owned by the appropriate group, or leave it at 777,
: but also set +t (sticky bit) - this prevents people from deleteing
: other peoples mailspools.

(but doesn't prevent them from writing to /var/spool/mail/ to begin
with).
