Problems writing to exim4's input directory after mail has been processed

[Carsten Aulbert]

Hi,

I've just installed and configured exim4 + MailScanner (4.30 + 4.25) for the
first time and tried a few things. It seems to work pretty good, i.e. email
is received by the first exim process and processing starts by MailScanner.

SpamAssassin and both virus scanners seem to work well, but when MailScanner
tries to move a message to the second exim's incoming directory it tries to
save it into a non-existent subdirectory names '9' for unknow reasons.


Here's the log:

 From the conf file:

Any idea where I can fix that/what kind of error that is?

Cheers
