Package: mailscanner
Version: 4.40.11-1
Severity: important

I configured a test system for checking out a few changes I am planning.
It included a migration to exim 4 and to split spool directory with exim.
I configured both exim4 and MailScanner according to the documentation.
Then I noticed that MailScanner was no picking up e-mails.
relevant setting:
Split Exim Spool = yes
Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/exim_incoming/input
Outgoing Queue Dir = /var/spool/exim_outgoing/input

So I changed this:
Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/exim_incoming/input/*

Then I created all 62 dirs in both input dirs. (exim uses 62 1 letter dir names 
when running split spooled)

After that it started working.

Still it is a suboptimal solution. It either has to be documented, or fixed.

I can send you the config files if needed.
