/etc/aliases contains:

Ooh, nice spot. That eventually resulted in:
http://www.exim.org/lurker/message/20070519.160339.5e5227a2.ja.html
So it looks like if exim is run as root, then initgroups() is run
which sets up secondary groups, otherwise it's not and they aren't.
Many thanks :-) I've learnt a new syscall today,
