Nope. In /etc/exim_outgoing.conf there is no spool_directory statement.
This is my default exim.conf file without mailscanner now. Hence there the
spool_directory is /var/spool/exim/input.

In /etc/exim.conf the spool_directory is set :

spool_directory=/var/spool/exim_incoming

This is correct. Because I am not connected while sending these mails and
after scanning them they are staying in the queue /var/spool/exim/input.
But mail does not show them nor mail -C /etc/exim_outgoing.conf.

As soon as I stop mailscanner and start only exim all the mails are back in
queue and exim starts sending them.

Thanks for all the help.


Peace
