You'll need to do some basic work to help people help you. At the
moment, you're pretty much asking people to exercise psychic powers to
tell you what's happening.

Did the test mail get rejected and sent back to the sender? If so, what
does the reject message say? If not, where is the mail? "exim -bpru"
will show you the mail-queue on the system, "exim -Mvl msgid" where
msgid is one of the message-ids from the queue will show you the
delivery attempt log.

If you run "exim -bP log_file_path" then you'll be shown the filename
template used for generating the log files. If it's syslog, look at
your syslog configuration; otherwise, look at "mainlog" for the period
in question and find the log entries for the delivery attempt. The
diagnostic log is there to help you with just such problems as this.
You should be looking in the logs first; if you still don't understand
what's going on, ask for help then, including full details from the
logs.

What happens if you try a delivery with debugging enabled? "man exim"
will explain the -d option to you.

What did you do to configure Exim to delivery mail to Courier, instead
of to the normal mail-spool? What are the Router and Transport used,
and can we see a debug trace showing this Router being used? Routers
are tried in-order.
