online at http://docs.exim.org/current/ as well as a comprehensive
book available from UIT http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book/ . This

Well if thats the script I guess it never worked.
You could have something like this (after the header section you
provided):-
${MAIL_CMD} << END_OF_MESSAGE
From: ${FROM}
To: ${TO}
Subject: ${SUBJECT}
You know, I really should have put some message content here...
END_OF_MESSAGE

Not really - it puts messages directly into the local queue.

Exim is not an MUA. Neither are mailman (which is a MLM) or fetchmail
(not quite sure of the classification for that - probably a mail relay
client of some sort).
Personally I would normally use an MUA here rather than directly
calling the MTA - so something like mail, nail, Mail or even mutt.
