And just to make sure that I don't have any lack of problems in the process, I decided to simultaneously migrate to exim4 as well. :) Now, here's a slight problem I've run across. Having read up on using spamassassin with exim, I've seen LOTS and LOTS of mentions of sa-exim. But from what I gather sa-exim is primarily used to reject spam while the SMTP session is still open. This is actually NOT what I want. I want to still receive spam, just have it go into a spam-only folder so I can look through it occasionally and make sure that I don't have any real mail there. Now here's my current status: I understand that using spamc/d is a good way to speed things up. Speed is good, so I'd like to follow this approach. I understand that using local_scan is also a good way to speed things up by only looking at any given message once. Now the problem being, how do I get local_scan to play nicely with spamc/d? Or is this even necessary? I'm currently using: ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii spamassassin 2.55-4 Perl-based spam filter using text analysis ii exim4-daemon-h 4.22-4 Exim (v4) with extended features, including (That's exim4-daemon-heavy.) The instructions I've found in /usr/share/doc/exim4-daemon-heavy/README.local_scan-perl and localscan-install.html haven't really helped much as I'm still confused about the whole local_scan + spamc/d issue. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
