I'm using Exim 3.33, and tried the config code given on this list
to incorporate bogofilter spam detection. It did not work for me.
Should it be this hard? All I want to do, is pipe every incoming
mail message out to a process (bogofilter) on its stdin, and have
the resulting stdout of that process replace the current mail
message within Exim, where normal processing will proceed.
I don't want this pipe to affect the selection of the Exim transport,
or otherwise influence any Exim processing in any way.
Bogofilter simply reads a mail message on stdin, adds a mail header
to the message ("X-Bogosity: Yes" or "X-Bogosity: No"), and outputs
it to the stdout. Yes, means bogofilter thinks its spam. The idea is
a mail _client_ can filter these headers locally.
THANKS for any advice...

These are the two errors I got from the config kindly offered
by Karl Schmidt and Philip Douglass...
2003-01-29 13:16:38 Exim configuration error
router bogofilter_router: cannot find router driver "accept" in line 443
2003-01-29 13:12:35 Exim configuration error
option "use_bsmtp" unknown in line 238
NOTE: The added complication of the "X-Flag" added by Karl, in case
spammers add their own "X-Bogosity" flag, seems unnecessary. Each
installation can define the text of the flag at compile time
for bogofilter. So, I might name the flag "X-Bogovalue" instead.
Thus spammers could not "guess" what everyone is using.
