Ok, so  as you probably  read, SA-Exim 2.1 had  a bug with  big messages
when they were passed to spamc and spamc would hang or stop reading (not
sure which one)

I should have  released 2.2 with that fix (available  in CVS soon after)
but I didn't really want to release a half assed fix.
After a bunch of hours, I think I have something that is much better.

     * 2002/10/28 - v2.2
          + Fixed  a  bug  that affected all mails bigger than what spamc
            would  accept.  Doh!  (it not clear why, but spamc would hang
            and  stop  reading  after  it  had  been fed more than it was
            willing to accept)
          + Added more debugging code to help track the above problem
          + Depending  on  SATruncBodyCond  will  now  either  not pass a
            message  that's too big to spamc, or will optionally truncate
            it first
          + Now  strips  any  X-SA-Exim-*  headers already present in the
            message before scanning it
          + Added  new  X-SA-Exim-Rcpt-To: header (see privacy section in
            README) after a suggestion from Brian Kendig
          + Teergrube  is  now  spelled  correctly  (note that the option
            names in spamassassin.conf changed as a result)
          + Teergrubing  has been re-implemented to detect that the other
            side went away so that exim doesn't stay around for nothing.
          + Added  SAteergrubecond  so  that  you  don't  teergrube  your
            neighbours
          + Small cleanups

Please see the README, there is actually stuff to read there now :-)

It hasn't run for days on my mail  server yet (just 10H or so, I do need
to replace SA-Exim  2.1 _now_), but no  problems so far, and  I had more
time to test it this time.

As always, it's here:
