exim: permission denied.

In ./usr/sbin exim is a symlink to exim4.  exim is owned by root:root 
with 777 permissions.  exim4 was owned by root:tom with 731 
permissions.  I changed the permissions to 777 but this did not correct 
the problem.  I still got exim: permission denied when I executed mailq 
as user tom.  mailq works for root.
