I can't find that error message anywhere inside exim. It sounds like
something is getting called as a user that is not root or 93 and it
knows that that state is useless so it's throwing the error.
Privileges in this case are - it has to run as root or exim(93). Running
without means it running as some other user.
What else are you using because it really doesn't look like a direct
result of exim.
