Ok guys, thanks for all the help you guys are great. To make a
long story short. I recompiled exim with EXIM_UID=0 and EXIM_GID=1
and now all is working. I guess that is what you mean by "Make exim
setuid root"?

Only one question left. Is it a good idea to run as root? I see some
references in the postings where guys have a separate user 'mail' for
running exim. I don't completely understand the write-up in the EDITME.

Regards,
Gustav
