Now, I know I've downloaded, patched exiscan, done make, and make
install. For some reason, it doesn't work. I've set it up to look at
the spamd_address on my other local server. I set it up as:

spamd_address - ip.num.of.svr 783

That's the same way it is on the other server except it's 127.0.0.1
instead of the real IP address.

If it is in fact scanning it, it's not putting the headers in showing
it was scanned. I have it set to in the ACL:

# Always add X-Spam-Score and X-Spam-Report headers, using SA
system-wide settings
# (user "nobody"), no matter if over threshold or not.

    warn message = X-Spam-Score: $spam_score ($spam_bar)
            spam = nobody:true
    warn message = X-Spam-Report: $spam_report
            spam = nobody:true
    warn message = X-New-Subject: [***SPAM***] $h_subject:
            spam = nobody
    warn message = X-Virus-Scanned: Scanned with Clam AntiVirus
            spam = nobody:true
    warn message = X-Spam-Flag: YES
            spam = nobody

Now, exim is recompiled. I'm not getting what I wanted. Where should
I start looking to find the fix?
