``man groupadd'' will point you the direction :) And you may have to
make sure that exim runs as user "exim" and that in turn this user has
the primary group "exim".

May be you should ``exim -bP exim_group'' to learn about the group exim
is using.

Probably it will help to assing the group of the shadow file as
additional group to exim. (See ``man usermod'' for this).
