Failed to link message body between queues

[Christiaan den Besten]

You seem to have configured MailScanner to use the exim "split pools".

Disable this function and MailScanner will not try to put the files in
[1-9a-zA-Z] subdirs. (or enable split pools in exim, create the subdirs if
you have a lot of traffic)

Bye,
Chris
