-bd asks Exim to fork, which makes it hard for Systemd to
supervise it. Using -bdf Systemd can track the process it created.
Exim writes to std{out,err} in case of debugging options on the command
line. If I'm not wrong, currently Exim isn't capable of reliable writing
logs to std{out,err}, but I can imagine implementing this (for some edge
cases).
