Re: [exim] Spool file not found - related to exim_tinydb?

Jeremy and Heiko thank you for replying. Mine was only a guess about
exim_tidydb but I have no evidence. Its a guess because the error always
occurr at cron time for a few messages per day. No NFS. I will look more
research and try to find other reason.
Thankyou.
