Everything works fine for some months now, but since last week I am
unable to send mails to one specific guy. When I type "mailq" I see
these mails which do not get send. I am able to send mail to any
other address I have tested.

The mainlog says: 2005-09-29 02:09:29 1EKeSt-0001ZE-Sw Spool file is
locked (another process is handling this message)

That's not all the mainlog says. Use exigrep to find all the mainlog messages so we can see how the message got into this state in the first place:

exigrep 1EKeSt-0001ZE-Sw /var/log/exim4/mainlog*

Does anybody have any idea what this may be? I cannot think which
other process this could be. I use clamav and spamassassin which are
scanning incoming messages but these are outgoing messages and any
other receipient works.

If it's an exim queue runner process holding the lock, exiwhat will show it. In that case, killing the process should release it, I think.
