I've just been playing with the exim spamassassin config I have and made an interesting change that might be useful to people.
This config is for an SA picking up all incoming mail, no per user specials (because all mail goes through once and SA can't handle multiple configs in a single pass). The difference is that I push mail through a piped BSMTP transport with spamc as a transport filter. This overcomes all the problems of having to have multi stage pipelines in a pipe transport, ensuring your quoting is right (to prevent shell exploits), special casing bounces etc. Anyhow, this is the transport and director. # in main config - add spamkill to trusted users trusted_users = "root:exim:spamkill" # in transports.... # Spam Assassin spamcheck: driver = pipe command = /usr/sbin/exim -oMr spam-scanned -bS transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc -s 500000 home_directory = "/home/spamkill" current_directory = "/home/spamkill" # must use a privileged user to set $received_protocol on the way back in! user = spamkill group = spamkill log_output = true return_fail_output = true bsmtp = all return_path_add = false # in directors # Spam Assassin spamcheck_director: # When to scan a message : # - it isn't already flagged as spam # - it isn't already scanned # - it didn't originate locally (as long as I don't harbor spammers :-)) condition = "${if and { {!def:h_X-Spam-Flag:} {!eq {$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}}} {1}{0}}" driver = smartuser transport = spamcheck One other subtle point. Your spamd must have the "-F 0" flag added to stop it adding and messing around with From_ headers. Hope this is of interest.
