Hi,

I'm currently receiving large amounts of backscatter spam that basically says "Mail delivery failed: ..." in its subject. SpamAssassin is set up and rejects a lot of spam, it's just totally useless on these messages. Normally all incoming messages get a spam filter info header added, but these messages don't even seem to be processed by SpamAssassin. It's as if Exim knows better and directly lets those messages pass into my mailbox.

I want to be in control and let SpamAssassin scan and possibly reject all messages, including those that look like mail delivery errors. Then I could at least add a rule that rejects all messages of that type, even if it's an ugly solution, but so is e-mail itself. But that doesn't even work because Exim doesn't pass those messages to SpamAssassin.

Is there some kind of exception built-in in Exim or what's wrong here?

This is Exim 4.71 on Ubuntu 10.04. I could append parts of my config if it helps, but that's gonna be lengthy and it'll take some time to collect it.
