Even since the changes I made recommended by some people here, Exim is still 
losing my mail. It only happens when fetchmail suddenly delivers heaps and 
heaps like when I first turn my server on. Once this first flood of mail is 
gone it works okay. This is the error message people get bounced...

The incoming copy of exim only feeds mail to mailscanner's spool. Mailscanner 
then delivers it. Thus mailscanner doesn't seem to come into it because the 
mail is dropping before it gets there. Anyone got any more ideas? Thanks,

David
