Yeah, I think the exim docs are very well done causing me to switch to exim a few years ago. And once with exim, using the exim filtering mechanism is very natural. I once did use procmail, but IMHO the exim filter "language" is less cryptic that procmail. In any case you can use spamassassin with exim and exim filtering. I'm using spamassassin at home with exim, the exim-based filtering, and fetchmail. I found a web site somewhere that detailed how to configure exim filtering to send it to spamassassin for analysis, etc. and then return to exim for final local delivery in filtered mbox files, which I have got set up and working well. If I was home I could probably post my exim.conf file showing this, but I would do a search on "exim spamassassin" or something like that, which should allow to find some sites explaining how to do this. You don't need to use procmail to do this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
