Subject: [Exim] retry db owned by root
I noted that retry database is owned by root when it is first created by
a process initially started as root.

root@ns:/var/spool/exim/db# ls -al
total 4
drwxr-x---  2 exim  exim  512 Nov 26 12:05 .
drwxr-x---  5 exim  exim  512 Nov 25 14:13 ..
root@ns:/var/spool/exim/db# echo | mail root
root@ns:/var/spool/exim/db# ls -al
total 4
drwxr-x---  2 exim  exim  512 Nov 26 12:07 .
drwxr-x---  5 exim  exim  512 Nov 25 14:13 ..
-rw-r-----  1 root  exim    0 Nov 26 12:07 retry
-rw-r-----  1 root  exim    0 Nov 26 12:07 retry.lockfile
