I'm doing exactly what you're talking about, however, with a different
set of software than what you called out. I'm using the following:
Debian 3.0r1 (minimal install)
Kernel 2.4.18-bf24 (default kernel)
Exim 4.14 (compiled from source)
SpamAssassin 2.20-1woody (apt-get)
Sa-exim 2.2 (compiled from source)
I actually operate this as both a front-end and smart host for Exchange.
The benefit of using sa-exim is that if necessary I can reject the
message at SMTP time, rather than allowing it into my system. I'm also
going to be upgrading to Sa-exim 3.0 pretty soon, and expect to leave
everything else untouched.
Rather than bore the list with the painstaking details we can probably
take this offline if you need in-depth assistance.

Subject: [Exim] Undoubtably a stupid question re: spamassassin
Howdy,
This is more an exim question then a spamassassin one thus I am
here.
I'm currently using exim as a router in front of an exchange box. I am
wanting to get spamassassin to look at the mail on the way through this
machine before it gets to the exchange server. However the config
examples I am seeing include a spam_check: transport and a
spamcheck_director: director.
From my understanding this means that mail routed through this machine
will never get scanned as directors are only used for local addresses.
And since all router email is remote nothing will get scanned.
My question is do I need to define a conditional router similar to the
director which uses the spam_check transport ? and if so what type of
driver do I use since smartuser is not supported in routers.
My other thought is two run two configs, the first that excepts the mail
considers all routing domains to be local and thus passes the mail to
the spamcheck transport which then would pass the mail back to exim with
-C using a different config which treats these same domains as remote
and thus delivers.
Or can I get exiscan to pass the mail to spamassasin ?
Debian 3.0
kernel 2.4.19
Exim 3.36
spamassassin 2.53
exiscan 2.4-2
As always thanx for any thoughts or feed back.
