cron is logging those messages, not exim (you can tell because the field directly after the hostname is /USR/SBIN/CRON ...) edit /etc/syslog.conf and change the line *.*;auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/syslog to *.*;auth,authpriv,cron.none -/var/log/syslog Uncomment the cron.log line if you still want cron to log somewhere.
