Log file says:
| exim -Mvl 1VOnUR-0002Lg-BV
| 2013-09-25 13:43:02 SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data: host mx.allaboutspam.com [96.126.107.60]: 452 Greylisted. Please try again after some time.

Why is there no retry attempt?
Or: Where is the spool file?

| exim4 -v -M 1VOnUR-0002Lg-BV
| delivering 1VOnUR-0002Lg-BV
| LOG: MAIN
| Spool file 1VOnUR-0002Lg-BV-D not found


I have found the spool file(s) in /var/spool/exim/input:
-rw-r----- 1 Debian-exim Debian-exim 67 Sep 25 13:42 1VOnUR-0002Lg-BV-D
-rw-r----- 1 Debian-exim Debian-exim 1170 Sep 25 13:43 1VOnUR-0002Lg-BV-H

But exim knows nothing about it?
