I know procmail can do it, but can Exim? Not directly - Mh format is a real hack (basically because of the sequences stuff and having no defined locking mechanisms). When I used Mh based tools (exmh) I used to have to shell out an mhstore - and even that needs additional locking round it to prevent trashing of the sequences files (specifically I had exim-procmail-mhstore). Now I just directly deliver to Maildir format.

Last night I received quite a few email messages and a few of them were SPAM. SA correctly filtered out the SPAM messages, and put them is the desired file. Since I use Sylpheed, which stores mail in the mh-style format, is there any way to get Exim to file messages in this way? I know procmail can do it, but can Exim?

On Sat, 26 Jan 2002 23:52:11 -0500 dman([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is reported to have said: have just whipped up some documentation regarding setting up exim and spamassassin. Basically I just outlined my setup, which Works For Me :-). 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. -- Phillip Deackes Using Debian Linux /\ \ / ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN XAGAINST HTML MAIL AND NEWS / \
