Patch

Exim tries to chown(<exim-user>, <exim-user>) the files that are created. In
some NFS environments this chown() fails, despite the fact that the owner/group
are already as necessary. (Thus, the chown() wouldn't be necessary.)

Exim should ignore the chown() failure if the file ownership are already as
expected.

The attached patch works in production environment.
