exim: permission denied



Hello everybody. I'm new to the list, and this is my first time posting a question here. Thanks in advance for your patience! I recently installed woody 2.4 for use as a POP3/SMTP server. I configured exim and qpopper. the pop side is working like a dream, but I'm having an intermittent SMTP problem. about 1/6 emails returns me a mail to the mail admin address with the following (I added the Subject and Body for clarity):

Subject:
Cron <mail@mail> if [ -x /usr/sbin/exim -a -f /etc/exim/exim.conf ]; then /usr/sbin/exim -q ; fi

Body:
exim: permission denied

the intermittency of it is one of the most frustrating things. I checked permissions for usr/sbin/exim and I can't see anything wrong with them, but hey, I'm a noob.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks again,

-Peter
