When running as a daemon, inbound messages are not written to the appropriate maildir and the mainlog reports that it cannot open tmp/<filename> and the message is queued for retry (after 10 times of trying initially).

Yet when I run exim as root with -Rf <domain name> or -qff or even -M <message id>, the messages are delivered as expected, complete with the owner, group, and file mode specified in the maildir delivery transport. Turning on debugging (-d) for a retry (-M) shows the process, and even though it doesn't explicitly use the (full) path, it shows the renaming of tmp/<filename> to new/<filename>. The correct maildir was also displayed on a preceding line.
Are you sure, it starts as root and drops privs later when run in daemon mode?
Because: to be able to change/write the message with the uid the maildir needs, it has to be privileged.
