I am attempting to implement spamd/spamc (SpamAssassin-2.51) with exim 4.12 on
an intel based server that is running SUSE 8.1. When I send a test message to
the server, I get the error message shown below and while I have seen reference
on the web to spamd crashing, it does not crash in my case. The test message has
only got "test" in the subject heading.
I am confident that the combination of spamd/spamc is OK because at command line
level if I submit a test message to spamd via spamc the tests are successful. I
have already successfully got spamc/spamd running with Exim 4.12 on a Solaris
based Sun server with an identical configuration. The configuration for the
spam assassin transport is also shown below.
Please advise if there is a solution to my problem.
