AM> What does

AM> say?

Before:
# ls -la /var/spool/exim4/
drwxr-x--- 5 Debian-exim Debian-exim 4096 2013-01-21  .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root        root        4096 2015-11-22  ..
drwxr-x--- 2 Debian-exim Debian-exim 4096 2014-07-12  db
drwxr-x--- 2 Debian-exim Debian-exim 4096 10-12 02:22 input
drwxr-x--- 2 Debian-exim Debian-exim 4096 10-12 02:22 msglog


After:
# ls -la /var/spool/exim4/
drwxr-x--- 5 Debian-exim Debian-exim 4096 10-12 02:28 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root        root        4096 2015-11-22  ..
drwxr-x--- 2 Debian-exim Debian-exim 4096 2014-07-12  db
-rw-r--r-- 1 Debian-exim Debian-exim 1236 10-12 02:28 gnutls-params-2048
drwxr-x--- 2 Debian-exim Debian-exim 4096 10-12 02:22 input
drwxr-x--- 2 Debian-exim Debian-exim 4096 10-12 02:22 msglog


so maybe the problem is with the process itself...
