Is this error repeatable? Does it show many times for the same message?
For different messages? What are the permissions on
/var
/var/spool
/var/spool/exim
/var/spool/exim/db
/var/spool/exim/db/wait-remote_smtp.lockfile
? From what you said, I presume that the message does get successfully
delivered.
I have once or twice seen something similar when testing Exim, but I can
never make it repeat.
