I recently did this on Testing using exim-daemon-heavy which has the
exiscan patch built in - so you do not need sa-exim.

Instructions for configuring spamassassin (and antivirus software, if
wanted) with exim4 running exiscan can be found at the link on this
page: http://www.timj.co.uk/linux/exim.php

As you can see, basically you need to change a couple of things in the
exim4 conf file and add an ACL to deal with the spam scanning, etc. It
all works as advertised here though running spamassassin as a daemon
takes up an awful lot of memory imho. There may be other and better
sites around but after mucho googling this one provided the info.
