That defeats the entire point. exim is failing to track ownership of
my mail, because it's delivered via loopback TCP port 25.

This flaw is real (I'm not arguing whose fault it is, MUA, MTA or
Debian). Hence it needs to give *some* clue that you are not showing
all the information. Even saying "there is mail in the queue that I'm
not showing you because you're not admin" would be enough.

There are an increasing number of single user Unix boxen out there:
adding this short message helps them a little bit.

Thanks!
Rusty.
