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 root        root  4096 Oct 10 19:49 ..
-rw-r-----  1 Debian-exim adm  20176 Oct 30 20:35 mainlog
-rw-r-----  1 Debian-exim adm  37547 Sep 16 06:25 mainlog.1
-rw-r-----  1 Debian-exim adm   1746 Sep 15 06:25 mainlog.2.gz
-rw-r-----  1 Debian-exim adm    287 Sep 14 06:25 mainlog.3.gz
-rw-r-----  1 Debian-exim adm    510 Sep 13 06:25 mainlog.4.gz
-rw-r-----  1 Debian-exim adm    467 Aug 28 09:25 mainlog.5.gz
-rw-r-----  1 Debian-exim adm    348 Oct 30 14:23 paniclog

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,
