*** That's not how computers work! ***
Is says "/var/spool/exim/log" and it means "/var/spool/exim/log" because that is configured *somewhere* as a log directory.
What are the *full literal* log entries? They should include the name and PID of the process which had the problem. It's conceivable that something other than exim (e.g. mailman) is trying to work there.
