Is it the open() call for writing or reading?

The path mentioned in the message does not seem like a split-spool one,
right?
Or are you saying that the message would still include the non-split path
even if the error was encountered on the split-spool file?

I tried sending a message with "mail -s test root < /dev/null" after "sudo
su - netdata" and this does not trigger the error.

I suspect there might be some kind of restriction set on the context of the
netdata daemon process,
which gets inherited by the exim binary when run as /usr/lib/sendmail, that
causes this error.
But it's weird that it can write to the spool file, but not reopen it!

I already had, nothing out of the ordinary.
