...and what happens to the messages? Do they get bounced after a time
(say four days)?
Do you have anything in a panic log (usually in /var/log/exim/panic.log
or similar) telling you your configuration is broken?
Does your server have a firewall rule denying access to port 25?

If you're getting nothing in the logs then it sounds to me like either
Exim isn't running as a listening daemon - in which case
check /etc/sysconfig/exim and make sure it contains "DAEMON=yes" (for a
RedHat variant, no idea about other distros); alternatively ensure your
startup script has the "-bd" option when it runs Exim.

Check your process list - you should see something like "exim -bd -q5m".
