Found it: File /etc/exim4/conf.d/transport/30_exim4-config_mail_spool

mail_spool:
debug_print = "T: appendfile for $local_part@$domain"
driver = appendfile
file = /suse/var/spool/mail/$local_part
# Original version: file = /var/mail/$local_part
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
group = mail
mode = 0660
mode_fail_narrower = false
