eximconfig shouldn't run on upgrades, so I'm surprised it tried to run it
anyway.

I've spotted the error. I hadn't bothered to test it as the only change was
in a comment; however it was a comment in the generated config file, and so
embedded in a perl string---and that meant that the apostrophe in the
comment terminated the string and caused the script to die.

I'll release 1.90-3 this evening which should fix this.

Use sudo or something similar, or add yourself to the mail group.
