If you're using maildir, you should have a maildir_format somewhere...

*How* do you connect and authenticate? You must have a POP or IMAP server
involved. inetd knows nothing of this - it's just a meta-server that accepts
connections and spawns the server processes that do the actual work. But yes,
whatever server you use it must of course look in the same place as where
Exim places the incoming mail.
