Hello, Thank you for the link, but it's not for spamassassin... it does look very similar to the config i have in exim for spamassassin though.
Does anyone know if i do need to adjust the config in exim when upgrading spamassassin from "3.0.3-2sarge1" to "3.1.7-1~bpo.1" as per the backports repository? My current exim config is as follows: Router: ============================================================ sa_router: no_verify check_local_user # When to scan a message : # - it isn't already flagged as spam from Spamassassin # - it isn't already scanned # - it isn't local # - it isn't from one internal domain user to another condition = "${if and { \ {!eq {$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}} \ {!eq {$received_protocol}{local}} \ {!eq {$sender_address_domain}{$domain}} \ } \ {1}{0}}" driver = accept transport = sa_spamcheck local_parts = /etc/spamassassinUsers ============================================================ Transport: ============================================================ sa_spamcheck: driver = pipe command = /usr/sbin/exim4 -oMr spam-scanned -bS use_bsmtp = true transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc home_directory = "/tmp" current_directory = "/tmp" user = spamcheck group = spamcheck log_output = true return_fail_output = true return_path_add = false message_prefix = message_suffix = ============================================================ As mentioned before, only *some* of the emails are failing. around 50% were getting through fine. Thanks again, Richard.
