Well, the link to http://dman13.dyndns.org/~dman/config_docs/exim-spamassassin/node11.html was helpful, but my email, I've discovered, is not properly getting spam-tagged. I sent myself spam email from another account and it was getting caught, but I didn't realize the other account had spamassassin running and was tagging the email, thus the false impression when I redirected it to my home account. So now, I have exim 3 updated with the rules, but don't know what add next (exim.conf and/or .procmailrc) to actually tag email. I've tried adding /usr/bin/spamc at the top of my .procmailrc but that did nothing. Any additional help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Scott
Set the logging to verbose=yes and see what the logs tell you. You should get a procmail log entry for every statement that the email hits, including filtering line (* ^TO_debian-user@list.debian.org) and executables (| /usr/bin/spamc).
If you have the logging turned on, the procmail logs will indicate that it ran spamc and the results may also be posted depending on the logging/debugging level you have spamassassin set to.
Whenever debugging, turn everything up a high debug level and work your way down from there.
It is a ton of data coming off into the logs, but you need that when you're in the dark.
Start with that. If spamc/spamd is running, it will tell you. If something is failing in the code and quiting early, it will tell you. If it succeeds, it will tell you with the resuling scores, time to complete, blah..blah..blah..
