Hi All
We're evaluating Exim4 with Debian Sarge to replace our proprietary email
server.
Spam blocking is essential and we select Spamassassin with
SA-Exim.
Now we can send and receive emails without any problem but not SPAM
blocking.
Here is the things what we've done so far:
1. Installed following software.
o exim4 (Ver: 4.31-2)
o exim4-config (Ver: 4.31-2)
o exim4-daemon-heavy (Ver: 4.31-2)
o sa-exim (Ver: 4.0-1)
o spamassassin (Ver: 2.63-1)
o spamc (Ver: 2.63-1)
o popa3d (Ver: 0.6.4-2)
2. configured Exim4 with debconf ( Exim is working now).
3. modified /etc/default/spamassasin to start spamd with -d -u nobody
4. modified /etc/spamassassin/local.cf with following,
rewrite_subject 1
subject_tag SPAM: _HITS_:
report_safe 1
That's it!
According to /usr/share/doc/sa-exim/README, we don't need any
modification to Exim configuration to work.
But it seems that sa-exim is not working on the system.
We haven't modify configuration of sa-exim, but it seems that
/etc/exim4/sa-exim.conf has all the nice features enabled ;-)
For example, in sa-exim.conf has
SAnotspamsave: /var/spool/sa-exim/SAnotspam
But there's NO SAnotspam under /var/spool/sa-exim/
(/var/spool/sa-exim has RWX permission to user "Debian-exim")
How can I start sa-exim with my Exim4? Any idea?
Thanks!
