Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.54-2
Severity: normal


The file /etc/cron.daily/exim4-base ahrdcodes the spool directory 
as /var/spool/exim4. However, the spool directory is configurable
in the configuration file (directive: spool_directory or SPOOLDIR).
I think the cron-job should use the directory specified in the 
configuration file(s).
