Good, bad, or indifferent, Unix file perms & group:user
'ownership' is what is expected - not just by Exim, but also any
other tools, such as SA or ClamAV, and your POP, IMAP, and
Webmail daemons.

JMHO - the Unix model is generally well-suited to MTA's and
similar centralized services, whereas ACL's have advantages
particularly suited to end-user 'communities'.

Nice to have both, of course, so if/as/when you are successful
at migrating all that 'reasonably seamlessly' to ACL's, a
write-up would probably be looked at with interest.

Anyone ever used Exim on Warp Server Advanced with hpfs-386 and
'local security' activated...?
