Attached (very small files).

I did a telnet localhost 25

mail from: 0 AT pervalidus DOT net
rcpt to: test AT pervalidus DOT net
data
test

I also tried with a MUA.

And I don't see any /var/spool/exim/db directory.

I don't know if it's a permission problem. I have no experience

didn't create any users.
