I upgraded my debian system from exim 4.2x to exim 4.30.  Debian decided 
to change the user/group running exim4 from "mail" to "Debian-exim". 
Since then sa-exim stopped working:

2003-12-13 04:22:28 1AV6ul-0006sN-SF SA: Debug: Writing message to 
/var/spool/sa-exim/SApermreject/new/1071310948_f6c801c3c1b2$b756a10a$c7167e04 at mst.dk

mkdir /var/spool/sa-exim/SApermreject (but message was accepted), file 
sa-exim.c, line 202: Permission denied

I had to chown the directories in /var/spool/sa-exim from "mail" to 
"Debian-exim" to make it work again.
