Post some log snippets. Check all three of /var/log/exim/mainlog,
/var/log/exim/rejectlog, /var/log/exim/paniclog.
They'll have the answer for why the mail wasn't delivered. Also run
'mailq' (as root) and you'll find the "missing" messages. (messages
don't just disappear, they go somewhere. Always.)

Umm, hmm. This notice is part of "the contents of this email", and it
tells me to take the action of notifying you that I wasn't supposed to
