[exim] failed to open database lock file...



When I post to a moderated newsgroup, I have the following line in my
exim logs:

2002-04-09 01:07:58 16uiEu-0003oP-00 failed to open database lock file /var/spool/exim/db/wait-remote_smtp.lockfile: Permission denied (euid=8 egid=8)

This is due to:

ay:/var/spool/exim/db# ls -l
total 20
-rw-r-----    1 mail     mail        20480 Mar 23 01:53 retry
-rw-r-----    1 mail     mail            0 Mar  1 17:22 retry.lockfile
-rw-r-----    1 root     root         4096 Mar  1 19:39 wait-remote_smtp
-rw-r-----    1 root     root            0 Mar  1 19:39 wait-remote_smtp.lockfile

Is there a reason why the last two files have owner and group root?
Shouldn't they be mail?
