*** That's not how computers work! ***

Is says "/var/spool/exim/log" and it means "/var/spool/exim/log" because that 
is configured *somewhere* as a log directory.

What are the *full literal* log entries? They should include the name and PID 
of the process which had the problem. It's conceivable that something other 
than exim (e.g. mailman) is trying to work there.
