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.
