Yes. mailscanner headers are added since these messages are scanned and
than it remains in the outgoing queue without getting delivered. Only when
I stop mailscanner and start exim as one process these mails are delivered
from /var/spool/exim/input.

This mail I am sending directly using exim. I have not started mailscanner.
Thus only one exim process is running. You won't get mailscanner header in
this mail.

Thanks
