[SC.LUG] Spamassassin

[Simeon W Farrington]

Hi Folks

Having all sorts of fun trying to persuade spamassassin to work with
exim4 at the moment. I thought I'd got it all sussed last night once I
installed sa-exim, but when I switched the machine on tonight, although
things seem to be working (well, I didn't get any junk mail!) the logs
seem to suggest something isn't quite right (log extract below).

Any ideas why spamc is being denied?

I had thought about getting procmail up and running again, but it seems
to be that evolution really seems to muck around with where it stores
it's mail :( More work required methinks, but it never used to be this
complicated when I last had this set up!

Cheers

Simeon
