Hmmm very confused. We tend not to bugger about with spool directories
much. So lets do a little test

ls -la /usr/local/exim/spool/input/b
gives
-rw-r----- 1 exim nobody 278 Nov 1 23:47 1COltb-0000Zi-Op-D
-rw-r----- 1 exim nobody 1166 Nov 1 23:47 1COltb-0000Zi-Op-H
-rw-r----- 1 exim nobody 5210 Nov 2 08:33 1COu6b-0003d2-1w-D
-rw-r----- 1 exim nobody 24308 Nov 2 08:44 1COu6b-0003d2-1w-H

ls -la /usr/local/exim/spool/input/1
gives
-rw-r----- 1 exim nobody 288 Nov 2 04:17 1COq71-0001wp-OW-D
-rw-r----- 1 exim nobody 1050 Nov 2 04:20 1COq71-0001wp-OW-H
-rw-r----- 1 exim nobody 288 Nov 2 04:17 1COq71-0001ws-Po-D
-rw-r----- 1 exim nobody 1043 Nov 2 04:17 1COq71-0001ws-Po-H

and ls -la /usr/local/exim/spool/input/c
gives
-rw-r----- 1 exim nobody 210 Oct 31 20:57 1COMlc-0003xa-Bw-D
-rw-r----- 1 exim nobody 980 Oct 31 20:58 1COMlc-0003xa-Bw-H
-rw-r----- 1 exim nobody 13886 Nov 2 01:19 1COnKc-00012T-Sy-D
-rw-r----- 1 exim nobody 754 Nov 2 01:19 1COnKc-00012T-Sy-H
-rw-r----- 1 exim nobody 205 Nov 1 06:34 1COVlc-0005is-RF-D
-rw-r----- 1 exim nobody 1122 Nov 1 07:00 1COVlc-0005is-RF-H

this is a pretty standard install of exim 4.43.1, this does not seem to
agree with what you said in your email Phil. Are we doing something
wrong ?
