[SA-exim] Mailman sa-exim Question

[Sander Smeenk]

Quoting Justin F. Knotzke (jknotzke at shampoo.ca):

Ok. We'll just leave you to it then. 
Probably in a few hours you'll have solved it!












Just kidding :)

I don't know exactly, but if you have the sa-exim module in Exim, why
would you want to integrate spamassassin in mailmain again? Wouldn't you
rather have exim do the magic, and feed messages to mailman that need to
go there?

Personally, I used these[1] settings in my exim4.conf to play with
mailman and it worked fine. Exim rejected spam, mailman didn't get it,
etc.

To my best knowledge, the message was dropped at this stage and never
reached the delivery process of your exim.

This is the weird part. Do you have a message to send to reproduce this
behaviour?  If you do, you should try to run exim4 in debug mode, and
have the output redirected somewhere, and then do the delivery that
triggers this behaviour.

I strongly believe there's something weird in your setup ;)

IMHO it does this already.
