Try running:

:; /usr/sbin/sendmail -f $from -- $to <$file

with useful email addresses for $from and $to and a message in the file $file.

You should only need From:, To:, and Subject: headers in $file.

That should deliver the $file to $to using $from as the envelope sender.

If it does, exim's /usr/sbin/sendmail isn't disabled, but just has an
unhelpful default error message.
