This falls into the category of "relevant information it would have been good to see in the first post". ;^) > Could MailScanner be causing the fun? Exim noting that a file it expected to be present isn't, whilst another program is tinkering inside Exim's spools? Yes. Looking at the source for MailScanner 4.60.8-1, I see that it's working hard to do the right thing for Exim, but it looks like figuring this out whilst being multi-MTA was (understandably) a painful process (oh, look, fcntl locking portability issues with Perl on FreeBSD -- I remember that frustration). You don't say what version of MailScanner you're using. I think that you're probably better off asking in a MailScanner support forum, stating the version you're using. -Phil -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
