i'm not aware of any package that insists on a particular u/gid for its use, 
linux will assign these automatically when creating users/groups, why not 
create a user - exim - and use the resulting u/gid, or use the ones for 
whatever user any exim documanetation might suggest since i don't know 
anything about exim:-)
