MailScanner's much happier if all the directories it needs exist before it
starts. There's not much point in taking shortcuts. My Exim setup script does

        for exim in exim exim.in
        do
                for split in \
                    a b c d e f g h i j k l m \
                    n o p q r s t u v w x y z \
                    A B C D E F G H I J K L M \
                    N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z \
                    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
                do
                        run mkdir -p /var/spool/$exim/input/$split
                done
                run chown -R exim:exim /var/spool/$exim
                run chmod -R 0750      /var/spool/$exim
        done
