Another program. exim doesn't play with chmod.

After correcting the permissions on exim, run
chattr +i exim
and then see which other program breaks. It's that other program that
keeps breaking exim on you.

No. trusted_users has _nothing_ to do with setuid(). setuid() is a
function in the C library and it is up to the kernel whether or not it
will fail.

The remote desktop feature of Windows XP is really nice (and *novel*!).
As a Microsoft consultant can *remotely* disable the personal firewall
and control the system. We'll ignore the fact that this tampering with
the firewall is not logged, and more importantly, that the firewall
isn't restored when the clowns from Redmond are done with their job.
