I want to allow Exim's log file to be read by any user on my mail
server.  I don't really have any other users than me, but I do have
some jobs that need to read  the Exim mainlog.

I used to be able to do that by changing

	LOG_MODE=0644
	
and recompling Exim.

Now that I'm doing a Debian compile, that no longer seems to work.

Next step was to also change

	LOG_DIRECTORY_MODE=0755
	
but still the logs get created like this

	-rw-r-----  1 Debian-exim adm  23850178 Feb 23 16:48 mainlog

I want it to look like this

	-rw-r--r--  1 Debian-exim adm  23850178 Feb 23 16:48 mainlog

My Exim directory has these permission bits

	drwxr-sr-x  2 Debian-exim adm    1024 Feb 23 06:25 exim4

Where am I going wrong ?

Thanks for any pointers in the right direction.
