That was it! Following your linked section and the appendfile section
linked therein, I was able to get mail to deliver, and was able to view
that mail in gnus! I had to create the file:

touch /var/mail/user
chown user:exim /var/mail/user
chmod 660 /var/mail/user

I then added this line to the top-level of my exim config

deliver_drop_privilege = true

Then added these options to the local_delivery transport:

no_check_owner
file_must_exist
user = exim
group = exim
mode = 0660

Thanks a ton!
