As far as I remember, I added the exim user ownership because it was 
recomended in exim documentation... and we try to keep spells as close as the 
authors wants them.

If it is bullshit, open a bug, I'll add a query in CONFIGURE to ask whether 
you wan to run exim as mail or as exim... (I should have done it before, 
maybe).
