Directors no longer exist in Exim 4.x, so the origin of your config
file is getting on for 4 years old. As Bill says, this isn't
necessarily a Bad Thing because the convert script probably did a
reasonable job of updating the file for 4.x, but it does suggest that
the config might be sub-optimal.

It's always difficult to give useful support to users of the various
auto-generated config systems which use Exim, because (and this is no
criticism of yourself) the user hasn't written the config themselves
and so is unable to answer all the 'show us your xxx router' and 'why
did you write it like that' questions that inevitably follow, and it's
also often difficult to make small changes to the config for debug
purposes without breaking the auto config mechanism.

Hence Bill's suggestion to go back to grass roots with a new config.
