Yes, that's exactly what I'd recommend for a simple setup. I'm using a
heavily modified conf file, and I'm not 100% sure what the default confs
are like for your situation, so I'll leave it to someone else to suggest
exact syntax based on the default conf file. But basically, in your
local delivery router, you want to replace something like (warning,
untested, may be buggy or just plain wrong!):
transport = local_maildir
with
transport = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/exim/shared}\
{local_maildir_shared}{local_maildir}
and then create a local_maildir_shared transport that's identical to
your existing local_maildir transport, with the addition of
mode = 0640
