It's not out of the question, but it's really my responsibility, and as I wrote previously, I have to get a handle on how DirectAdmin handles the routing of the Spam. I believe this will work and I'll work on the exim.conf file as soon as I hear from the folk at DirectAdmin. > In either case, it's not a solution I'm fond of because checking the > message size alone is no guarantee that the ressources needed for > scanning will remain within acceptable limits.

Not filtering for spam works for me. Sure I get some. But it's better to get some than have the server problems. What I'd really like to do is run email on it's own server(s), heavy-duty, built for the task. However there's only one control panel I know of that sets that up (H-Sphere) and it uses qmail (please excuse me; I need to go and clean myself up after using that word <wry grin>).
