Spool File Not Found

[Nitro]

The server does not receive emails and it won't forward the messages.

tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog

2006-09-03 22:46:19 1GJznD-00021e-8h Spool file 1GJznD-00021e-8h-D not found

I'm also using MailScanner and ClamAV.

looks like the data file for the email has been removed/deleted from the server and it left the header files on the server.

does it happen to all the domains on the server that unable to send/receive mails?

Run the following commands (in that order):
mkdir /var/spool/exim/input
mkdir /var/spool/exim/db
mkdir /var/spool/exim/msglog
chown -R mailnull:mail /var/spool/exim
/scripts/eximup --force
