Do you, by any chance, have some other scanning system with a similar
setup?  I saw someone try that once, the net effect was
    exim -> SA -> exim -> virus scanner -> exim -> SA -> exim -> ...
the solution was to adjust the condition= setting so that when the
virus scanner returned the message to exim, exim skipped both the SA
and AV routers.


The other thing I wonder is you don't have 'report_safe 0' set in
spamassassin and thus exim doesn't see any X-Spam-Flag: header
defined. However, since $received_protocol is set that shouldn't
matter.

Say, user 'mail' exists and is a privileged user (in terms of exim),
right?

HTH,

Yes, Java is so bulletproofed that to a C programmer it feels like being in a
straightjacket, but it's a really comfy and warm straightjacket, and the world
would be a safer place if everyone was straightjacketed most of the time.
