The procedure should work as you described it. BUT, when you're using
split spool directories, you can't choose the directory randomly. The
directory has to match the last letter of the first part of the spool
id.

These files are expected in input/v/
The 'exipick' and even 'exim -pc' report them regardless of the correct
directory.
BUT, you may place the messages directly in input/, as part of a
migration scenario flat -> split spool dirs Exim first checks the input/
dir and then the sub directory calculated from the spool id.
