Hi there,
download the spamassassin package.
See
http://au.spamassassin.org/downloads.html
Define a router in your Exim configuration file.
For Exim 4 it could look like this:
# Spam Assassin
spamcheck_router:
no_verify
check_local_user
# When to scan a message :
# - it isn't already flagged as spam
# - it isn't already scanned
# - comes from ABC.DEF.GHI.JKL or MNO.PQR.STU.VWX
# - .spamcheck exists for this user
condition = \
"${if and { {!def:h_X-Spam-Flag:} \
{!eq {$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}} \
{or { {eq {$sender_host_address}{ABC.DEF.GHI.JKL}} \
{eq {$sender_host_address}{MNO.PQR.STU.VWX}} \
}\
}\
}\
{1}{0}\
}"
require_files = $home/.spamcheck
driver = accept
transport = spamcheck
This router has two advantages (for us):
1. You can define the sender host addresses from which you will
scan the spam.
In my example there are ABC.DEF.GHI.JKL and MNO.PQR.STU.VWX (you have to
substiute this by your real IP-Adresses).
2. The spamcheck router only runs in dependency of the existence of the
.spamcheck file.
So your users can decide whether or not they wont to use Spamassassin.
Thats important for protection of privacy in germany.
If you don't need this you can simplify the router, for example:
# Spam Assassin
spamcheck_router:
no_verify
check_local_user
# When to scan a message :
# - it isn't already flagged as spam
# - it isn't already scanned
condition = \
"${if and { {!def:h_X-Spam-Flag:} \
{!eq {$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}} \
}\
{1}{0}\
}"
driver = accept
transport = spamcheck
In the end you will need a spamcheck transport.
This one works well for us:
# Spam Assassin
spamcheck:
driver = pipe
command = /usr/exim/bin/exim -oMr spam-scanned -bS
use_bsmtp = true
transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc
home_directory = "/tmp"
current_directory = "/tmp"
# must use a privileged user to set $received_protocol on the way
# back in!
user = mail
group = mail
log_output = true
return_fail_output = true
return_path_add = false
message_prefix =
message_suffix =
Put the router and the transport on the right places in your exim conf
and send the daemon a HUP signal.
Thats all.
