Thanks dman. I have set it all up as you outlined, and each email now has
the line 'Received: from mail by scgf.gmx.co.uk with spam-scanned (Exim
3.33 #1 (Debian))' in the headers.

I never get an 'X-Spam-Status:' header, though. I did exactly what you
said, and added the filter lines to my .forward file. I commented out
procmail, so am not using it at all at the moment. all the mail is coming
through, but nothing is being blocked. Do I still need procmail to be
running, ie. is your configuration *on top of* the basic SA setup, or
instead of?

I am using the latest Debian package of Spamassassin, 2.01-1. It looks
like the conf file in /etc/spamassassin is empty - should there be
anything there? Should I revert back to an older version of SA?

Many thanks for your help.
