Dear Exim Experts,

I'm trying to selectively invoke SpamAssassin from Exim based on the recipient address, but it doesn't seem to be working - all messages are being filtered. I suspect that the problem is in my Exim ACL stuff where I am using an ACL variable. Can anyone spot what I am doing wrong?

My strategy is to look for known-spammy recipient addresses (e.g. addresses that will have been collected from Usenet, mailing list archives, etc) in the acl_smtp_rcpt; if I find one I set a per-message acl variable. Then, in the acl_smtp_data I accept if the variable is unset, else invoke SpamAssassin.

What seems to happen is that the variable gets set in the right cases, but SpamAssassin gets invoked even when it has not been set.

Here is an extract from my config file:

addresslist filter_recipients = /etc/sprout/filter_recipients

acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_check_rcpt
acl_smtp_data = acl_check_data

begin acl

acl_check_rcpt:
  # Run for each recipient

  warn set acl_m0 = 1
       recipients = +filter_recipients
       message = Spammy address, using filter

  accept domains = +local_domains
         endpass
         verify = recipient
         message = unknown user

  accept hosts = 127.0.0.1

  deny message = relay not permitted


acl_check_data:
  # Run after message has been received

  accept hosts = 127.0.0.1

  accept condition = ${if eq{$acl_m0}{1}{0}{1}}

  warn message = X-Spam-Score: $spam_score
       spam = nobody:true

  warn message = X-Spam-Report: $spam_report
       spam = nobody:true

  drop message = Rejected by SpamAssassin (score=$spam_score)
       spam = nobody:true
       condition = ${if >{$spam_score_int}{60}{1}{0}}

  accept




I have simplified that a bit in the hope that it shows the important stuff, but if no-one can see what's wrong I could post an unabridged version.

What happens is that the "Spammy address, using filter" message is inserted in the right messages; however, the SpamAssassin spam score and report are inserted in all messages.

This is with the Debian "heavy" package of version 4.34.

Many thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Cheers,  Phil.
