Can you tell us which config files in which you have set the spool
directories ? Are you using a packaged version of Exim4 or have you
compiled it locally ?

Presume that you have copied /src/EDITME to a created dir `Local' and
have renamed it to `Makefile'. If it is so, then the Exim pid file is
written inside the dir you specify therein; I have specified for my
Debian system /var/run/exim. The default behavior if this is not
specified is that the pid file is written to /var/spool/exim.

The intended behavior is what you specify in the makefile or else it
defaults.
HTH.
