A5006: Exim has been unable to create a file in its spool area in which to store an incoming message. This is most likely to be either a permissions problem in the file hierarchy, or a problem with the uid under which Exim is running, though it could be something more drastic such as your disc being full.
A0044: Exim has been unable to create a file in its spool area in which to store an incoming message. This is most likely to be either a permissions problem in the file hierarchy, or a problem with the uid under which Exim is running, though it could be something more drastic such as your disc being full. If you are running Exim with an alternate configuration file using a command such as exim -C altconfig…, remember that the use of -C takes away Exim’s root privilege.
