Is user "mail" what you built exim with as your EXIM_UID? If not, well, why
not? Or alternatively you could set "mail" as a trusted_users if there's a
reason that exim isn't compiled with mail as your EXIM_UID. Also as an
aside, a typical installation has the exim binary suid root as well. So be
aware that this may cause you problems depending on how you're using exim.
