Gosh. I didn't know that.

What goes wrong?

Don't know the SGI culture, but the command that gets run is compatible
with sendmail, namely
exim -bd -q1h
(or whatever queue run time you want such as -q30m or -q15m). Note,
however, that the exim binary must be setuid root.

That depends on where they built Exim to put them, but you can find out
by running
/usr/lib/sendmail -bP log_file_path
(assuming /usr/lib/sendmail is symlinked to exim). A common location is
/var/spool/exim/log.
