I've created a popcon user who is in the popcon group and changed the
exim config file to use that user.  

I'd prefer this setup so as a) not to tie the service to a particular
developer, b) to be marginally more secure (in the sense that it's a
step away from whatever extra privileges you or whatver developer we
used has).  However it may not work, ISTR some permissions problems
with exim - let me/us know.
