You'll have to do a little debugging yourself, but basically try the
following things:
- does spamc < spammail get the spam to spamd and does it come back scanned?
- do mails show up as scanned by spamd in syslog when they go through exim
- etc... (use your imagination, and standard debugging techniques)

SA-Exim is mostly geared for sysadmins, so the docs don't do much hand
holding or go in details over standard sysadmin work (just a heads up)

If you need such help, you may find it here, or not, depending on whether
someone has the time to give more detailled (remote) help this day or not.

However, if you have very detailled debugging info showing a breakdown
between SA-Exim or SA, or an SA-Exim problem, you should of course report it
with the appropriate debug info, and we'll look into it

Thanks,
Marc
