Thanks Nick for the help.

I tried everything as per the docs. But even after doing

mailq -C /etc/exim_outgoing.conf

I don't get anything.

rajesh at debian:~$ l /var/spool/exim/input/
total 8
-rw-------    1 mail     mail          292 Dec 17 21:02 16G4uL-00006L-00-D
-rw-------    1 mail     mail          758 Dec 17 21:03 16G4uL-00006L-00-H
rajesh at debian:~$

As you can see after scanning the mail is in /var/spool/exim/input

debian:/etc#

Nothing is sent.


I have got the following in /usr/local/Mailscanner/etc/mailscanner.conf

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Set location of sendmail binary, location of incoming mail queue
# and location of outgoing mail queue.
MTA                = exim
Sendmail           = /usr/sbin/exim
Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/exim_incoming/input
Outgoing Queue Dir = /var/spool/exim/input

# Sendmail2 is provided for Exim users.
# It defaults to the value supplied for Sendmail.
# It is the command used to attempt delivery of outgoing
# (scanned/cleaned) messages.
Sendmail2 = /usr/sbin/exim -C /etc/exim_outgoing.conf
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

In /etc/exim.conf I have added the things as per the docs.

Anything else to be done. I think I am missing something silly here.

Please help.
