Exim runs as multiple, short-lived processes, except for the daemon,
which doesn't do much other than spawn child processes. Individual
processes may keep the files open for short periods (e.g. while routing
a message). However, they will not be kept open for long periods.

Once new files are in place, any new Exim process will get them.
