Probably you suppose that locally generated messages are sent through
listening daemon. It's not true: they are sent via creation of separate
Exim process (e.i. via execve() syscall), bypassing listening daemon.
You can can see in the log that pid of sending process is different.
Look for "locally generated mails" in documentation.
