Maybe I'm not getting what you mean by "done as Debian-exim". The "su" 
command I used is all I can think of, but I would not expect it to work 
because the Debian-exim user has /bin/false as its shell...

bsass at onegee:~$ cat /etc/passwd |grep Debian-exim
Debian-exim:x:102:102::/var/spool/exim4:/bin/false

what is user "mail"...

bsass at onegee:~$ cat /etc/passwd |grep mail
mail:x:8:8:mail:/var/mail:/bin/sh
