Consulting the spamc doc's reveals this:
-d host
Connect to spamd server on given host. If host
resolves to multiple addresses, then spamc will fail-
over to the other addresses, if the first one cannot
be connected to.
So go find the line that calls spamc in sa-exim.c:
ret=execl(SAspamcpath, "spamc", "-s", string_sprintf("%d",
SAmaxbody+16384), NULL);
And change it like this:
ret=execl(SAspamcpath, "spamc", "-s", string_sprintf("%d",
SAmaxbody+16384), "-d", "entry.that.resolves.to.multiple.addresses", NULL);
Then make sure you've got spamc on the mailhosts and that
"entry.that.resolves.to.multiple.addresses" resolves to your
spamassassin hosts.
