The appendfile transport has a
mbx_format
option (see <
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-the_appendfile_transport.html> ) but only if Exim was compiled with SUPPORT_MBX set. You can find out if it has by running exim -bV. That'll give you something like:
# exim -bV

Have a read of the appendfile transport section of the docs, that should tell you what you need to know. If not, please come back with any questions you may have.
