I don't think it is a bug in Exim, but a local configuration issue somewhere
near your spam scanning system. Somehow, the exim process running as user 92,
group 92, does not have write access to /var/log/exim/main.log. When it runs
into this error, it PANIC and dies.

Something in spamvirus_transport triggers a massive lookup for 195.244.232.212
RDNS and fwd lookups which seems strange for something that seems to be a local
delivery. Find out why it's doing that.

[pid 19676] 0.000072 open("/var/log/exim/main.log",
O_WRONLY|O_APPEND|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

The router, transport and any related ACL statements would be useful here too.
