You may want to take a look at sa-exim. It's an exiscan "plugin" that scans your mail at SMTP time. I've found it to be fairly easy to configure. Since you are using exim4, you should probably run spamassassin at SMTP time rather than after. If nothing else, this is the "responsible" way to use spamassassin. Most spammers send mail from forged addresses, and if you accept, then bounce spam (as you are doing in the config you mentioned), it gets dumped on some poor sysadmin and his innocent domain (it also uses up your own resources and bandwidth). If you scan and reject spam at SMTP time, you don't foist your spam problems on anyone else. If you are trying to use spamc + spamd, make sure that you enable the daemon in /etc/default/spamassassin (it's disabled by default). -davidc -- gpg-key: http://www.zettazebra.com/files/key.gpg
