No luck. I rebooted and got the paniclog error during the boot.
After booting, I stopped exim4, deleted the paniclog, and restarted
exim4. It created a paniclog containing the following:
Had you also executed
exim4 -qff -v
I think you would immediately had your paniclog back, you have
undelivered messages that fails when exim tries to deliver.

R=local_user T=mail_spool defer (-1): Tainted '/var/mail/marc' (file
or directory name for mail_spool transport) not permitted
How do I convince exim4 that /var/spool/marc is an acceptable file
name for mail_spool transport?
Exim no longer allows a sender to decide a name of a path component,
in this case 'marc'. Your config needs to agree on 'marc' being
allowed. This is done using a lookup locally.
From what I understand there was / is a discussion about a setting to
just warn about this tainted data but allow it, but I could not make
it work.
I think you already have a lookup in the default config that checks
/etc/aliases which would allow 'marc' in your path if you just add a line
marc: marc
to it, I cant promise because I also use another lookup to be able to
send mail.
Anyhow, after a successful lookup, the config variable ${local_part}
can be replaced by the new variable ${local_part_data} which will
recieve its value in the lookup you need to have.
Your config files under /etc/exim4/conf.d must not contain
${local_part} anymore.
I have no idea what will happen if you try to reinstall exim to get a
new default config.
//PG
I THINK it's working now.
I found the line in /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template 'file =
/var/mail/$local_part' that needs to be changed to 'file =
/var/mail/$local_part_+data'. (The line is 72% of the way through a 79K
file.) Then I needed to run 'update-exim4.conf -v|.||||||||

After that, it looks like all of my undelivered files have been
delivered and the paniclog has not returned.
