John's version of exim can deal with that (I've verified it in my own
initial test), the problem is space=0.

Exim version 4.31
-----------------
57. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not
have the concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1
for the number of available inodes. This interacted badly with
check_spool_inodes, which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing"
setting. What I have done is to check that the total number of inodes is
greater than zero before doing the test of how many are available.
