/var/spool/exim4/scan is not used by the Debian exim4 packages. I
seriously suspect a local configuration error.

There are many methods to integrate ClamAV and spamassassin to exim4,
none of which is natively supported by the exim4 packages. How did you
do it, and how did you check that your changes are still in place?

Something in the line of exim4 -qff -DSPOOL_DIR=/var/spool/exim4/scan
should do the trick.

Downgrading the bug to normal as this is clearly not a bug in the exim
packages, but not closing since I'd like to help.
