Thanks for your time Phil.
This is what I get with exim -bP for the second server:
log_file_path = /var/log/exim2/exim_%slog
spool_directory = /var/spool/exim2
For now I set exim -qff to run every 5 minutes through cron.
Is this assumption correct? if exim -qff with the new config file works,
the permissions are set correctly in the spool and log files? And if the
permissions were incorrect, exim could not write to the spool directory.
