Ok Running newest version of Exim on FreeBSD. I have installed Dovecot as per the recommended directions...Installed Spamassassin but have it disable at the moment trying to fix this situation.

Currently email shows delivered in the mainlog but it never shows up...In Squirrelmail or POP.

Until....I run: echo "action=convert&value=todovecot" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

As soon as that runs, the mail shows up. Any clues why? I have run the dovecot patch on exim.conf
 
The todovecot command is critical, as it moves email from the old mbox mailboxes to the new Maildir mailboxes.

However, the patching of the exim.conf file is also critical. That happens as part of one of the commands (I didn't look to see which one). And if it doesn't happen, then mail delivery will continue to be to the old mailboxes. And since you've properly installed Dovecot, only the new mailboxes are being checked.

The patch is possibly failing, because we had a client it failed on; he was using SpamBlocker3-beta exim.conf.

If you're using SpamBlocker2.x, then the patching has been tested and should work automatically. With SpamBlocker3 I've provided mulstiple copies depending on whether or not you're using Dovecot, and whether or not you're using ClamAV.

So if you're using SpamBlocker3, the best bet is to install the proper file, which can be found here.
