For the record, I had the same problem on two 5.x servers after I
installed exim from the ports tree. Well, same OS version, same Exim
version. On one such server, I have

mailserver# df -h
Filesystem    Size   Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a    34G   2.2G    29G     7%    /
devfs         1.0K   1.0K     0B   100%    /dev


There is sufficient space, but in both cases, I happened to have put in
two config params in the Exim configure file:

#check_spool_inodes            = 100
#check_spool_space             = 20M


I had believed those would be useful later, because anyway those two
servers do not handle so much mail!
After I commented those out and gave exim daemon a -HUP signal the
problem disappeared, from both boxes. To be sincere, one box brought the
problem first and I commented out those entries. I used the same info
from my mind cache to solve the other. I am wondering if this folk has
the same entries. Maybe??

You mean like I've mentioned above? Apart from those, I do run Exim 4.30
on several boxes here.

I do believe sure his disk is OK for all those questions ;)
