Now I have the same error again ??? Amavis and spamassassin are running.
Running "exim -qff -v"
gives the same errormessage. I see this errormessages in the exim and
the amavis logfiles. But if I run exim as a daemon ("exim -bd -q1h") I
do not have any errors ! So my new question is: how can I force exim to
go through the queued messages while the exim daemon is running ?
