Hi
sorry for the antispam on the mail, I remove it
Yes it's an antique server, but don't have the time to change it to
exim4 (and it's a production server, don't want to touch it to much ;-)
I thinks now that's not exim that create the files, it may be Trends
Antivirus. And there isn't any antispam server on the exim. The antispam
is before (externale mail -> antispam server -> exim -> inside mail)
But the problem begin after I set up the antispam server. something
strange is that it's a mail for the outside, and he didn't pass through
the antispam. The process is
inside mail -> trends server -> exim -> outside mail

In the exim log, the mail was delivered :

2004-05-17 13:45:16 1BPgYW-0003xb-00 <= inside@???
H=(internalmailserver) [127.0.0.1] P=esmtp S=76762
id=A4C8...C@inernalservermail
2004-05-17 13:45:17 1BPgYW-0003xb-00 => external@???

2004-05-17 13:45:17 1BPgYW-0003xb-00 Completed

And for the trends online scanner, it is also delivered
