Mmmh, it's actually hard.
The reason is that it runs as UID/GID mail or exim or whatever, and that
user is typically not allowed to create directories in /var/spool

Yep, does that :)

Mmmh, I'll add that to the wishlist.
Mainlog, rejectlog or both?

See the bottom of the code
/*
To ask Philip:
1) read/use return_text on 2xx
2) optional LOCAL_SCAN_REJECT without triggering  a full dump of the rejected
   headers so that I can return a different message than what I log
3) I need to  return '\n' in return_text, but it  gets logged, and log_write
   isn't supposed to get newlines... See #2
*/

When I return LOCAL_SCAN_REJECT, exim dumps the message. I can't turn it off
or control it.

Yep.

Thanks for helping dman :-)
