I don't remember why, but I think exim needs to be member or "mail"  
group:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# grep -i exim passwd
exim:x:93:93::/var/spool/exim:/sbin/nologin

[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# grep -i exim group
mail:x:12:mail,exim
exim:x:93:

----------------------------

If your problem was with permissions, it will occurs again, because 
logrotate creates new files with default owner and permissions.
