I agree it doesn't sound like a SA problem. I can't help either, as I use
Postfix. Surely the Exim-SA people will be getting up soon...

Subject: Re: sa-update doesn't exist on my system
Hello,
Thank you for the link, but it's not for spamassassin... it does look
very similar to the config i have in exim for spamassassin though.
Does anyone know if i do need to adjust the config in exim when
upgrading spamassassin from "3.0.3-2sarge1" to "3.1.7-1~bpo.1" as per
the backports repository?
My current exim config is as follows:
Router:
============================================================
sa_router:
no_verify
check_local_user
# When to scan a message :
# - it isn't already flagged as spam from Spamassassin
# - it isn't already scanned
# - it isn't local
# - it isn't from one internal domain user to another
condition = "${if and { \
{!eq {$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}} \
{!eq {$received_protocol}{local}} \
{!eq {$sender_address_domain}{$domain}} \
} \
{1}{0}}"
driver = accept
transport = sa_spamcheck
local_parts = /etc/spamassassinUsers
============================================================
Transport:
============================================================
sa_spamcheck:
driver = pipe
command = /usr/sbin/exim4 -oMr spam-scanned -bS
use_bsmtp = true
transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc
home_directory = "/tmp"
current_directory = "/tmp"
user = spamcheck
group = spamcheck
log_output = true
return_fail_output = true
return_path_add = false
message_prefix =
message_suffix =
============================================================
As mentioned before, only *some* of the emails are failing. around 50%
were getting through fine.
Thanks again,
Richard.

Looks like an exim problem to me, how is exim calling spamc?
Unfortunately I have no exim experience whatsoever (I use qmail /
qmailscanner) but maybe you need to revisit your exim config after the
upgrade... This link may be of use but I'm not sure...

It looks like 1 in 2 messages, at least to myself, was failing to get
through, and we have had to completely disable spamassassin
unfortunately :-(
According to our other IT guy who did the troubleshooting last night
after i had gone home, this is what happened...
He tried to email several of us, but for those of us who are
"subscribed" to spamassassin the message failed to get through,
stating:
============================================================
421 SMTP incoming data timeout - message abandoned
============================================================
"tail -100 /var/log/exim4/mainlog | grep user1" then gave:

Does anyone know what's going on here?

There shouldn't be, from what I recall its as simple as that. The
only other thing you'll want to do is run sa-update and then
restart spamd!
Consider:
1) Run sa-update -D so you can see what it does or tries to do and
what modules you might be missing and want. I had some missing
modules that I installed from the regular sarge distro that I
assume helped my functionality.
2) Add a channel for the SARE rulesets you want. This has been
discussed a lot the last couple of days.
