Thanks. I grabbed the package and built it. I'm now in the process
of configuring exim/exiscan to use it. I'm sure I'll find a howto
for this somewhere, which should make things easy.

I've been running SA for over a year. Between SA and a few
blacklists (spamhaus.org and korea, china, nigeria, rackspace from
blacklists.us) I get almost no spam. The only things slipping
through are the extremely short (one or two lines) spams. I bet if I
add the dynamic ip blacklist those will disappear, too - but I'm not
quite ready to block dynamic ips (I was on a dynamic ip address for
years so I know what it's like to be blocked).
