Hi,
As Stig mentioned, Exim logs to /var/log/exim/*.log (on my system it's
/var/log/exim4).
But the group (at least on my sid system) is adm (which has read permissions
on the logs) so it looks like using adm would work.
Here's what I see on my system (sid):
ls -la /var/log/exim4/
total 96
drwxr-s--- 2 Debian-exim adm 4096 Sep 16 06:25 .
drwxr-xr-x 13 rootroot 4096 Oct 10 19:49 ..

However this bug raises a bigger issue, where a wrong/non-existant/mistyped
group for a plugin configuration, even if the plugin not used, causes
munin-node to skip the rest of its configuration file, breaking the
configuration for the rest of the plugins.
I've forwarded this issue upstream so they'll be aware of the problem and
hopefully fix it.
Thanks,
Tom Feiner
