Looks OK. (Assuming, of course, that mailnull doesn't have uid = 0.)

Presumably you were running as root when you started that command.
Running Exim using -C has a number of complications. Do you get the same
problem if you run Exim without using -C?

I've just been looking at the code - there does seem to be an oddity.
Try starting the daemon, then sending it a HUP signal, *then* sending
the message.
