root is required for configuration. users get to use it but not to manipulate
it. i messed around with it a while back but couldn't see a use for it on my
dialup desktop. it allows you, as root, to determine which users get to use
what services, so, appropriately configured, it shouldn't interfere with user
access to exim.
