(I wrote the exim.conf in question.) I'm willing to do that at SMTP time, but I don't know if I can do that and still keep the distribution of the spam the way the server (DirectAdmin; http://directadmin.com/) does it now. I suppose I can add headers at data time but I'm not sure and haven't had the time to look it up <frown>. I don't have anything to do with the company that writes DirectAdmin so I'd rather not make any changes that requires changing the way DirectAdmin works. > The > "communication" path between Exim and SpamAssassin is simpler then, > and there's less to go wrong.

It shouldn't be. I don't use the latest copy of DA so I'm not sure.

Yes, I can do it, but I need to offer the option of not rejecting it, but delivering it. And that's what I'm not sure how to do at smtp data time.
