mailscanner and debian woody 3.0

[jack mendez]

i have checked my inbox for new messages and they do not appear.
the exim mainlog notes that it is receiving the mail, but then does nothing
with it. here are the log entries
2003-08-18 09:53:01 Start queue run: pid=19048

unless i am missinterpreting these log entires i think it is saying that it
can not find the wiler account of the local machine? it does exist, i log
into it all the time
thanks
