Subject: [exim] hotmail and spamassassin?
Strange things started yesterday w/ hotmail and exim with SA via exiscan.

my spamd seems as if it's being started by the spamd user, but then it
looks like its being called by root..

May 6 06:57:14 arsenic spamd[16374]: server started on UNIX domain
socket /var/run/spamd (running version 3.0.2)
May 6 06:57:14 arsenic spamd[16374]: server successfully spawned child

spamd:0 in 3.5 seconds, 36733 bytes.

And hotmail has been sending some *massive* dsn messages, which seem to
take forever.

spamd:0 in 26.7 seconds, 92394 bytes.

Even tried moving back to a tcp socket.. just to see if it would make a
difference..

This is the relevant portion of my data acl:

accept
  condition      = ${if >={$message_size}{96k}{1}{0}}


drop message    = ** Attention **\n \
                 This message has been rejected!\n \
                 This message has a SPAM score of: $spam_score points.\n \
                 Please call xxx.yyy.zzzz if you feel this message is in 
error.\n \
                 [$sender_address from $sender_host_address -> 
$local_part@$domain at $tod_bsdinbox]
  spam           = spamd
  condition      = ${if >{$spam_score_int}{100}{1}{0}}
  log_message    = [SA Reject] $spam_score


warn message    = X-New-Subject: [SPAM] $h_subject:
  spam           = spamd
  log_message    = [SPAM] $spam_score


warn message    = X-Spam-Info: Spam detection software,
warn message    = X-Spam-Info: Has scanned this message. If this is 
believed to be spam
warn message    = X-Spam-Info: A tag has been added to the subject for 
you own filtering purposes.
warn message    = X-Spam-Info: Please call us at: (xxx) yyy.zzz if you 
have any questions.


warn message    = X-Spam-Score: $spam_score ($spam_bar)


warn message    = X-Spam-Report: $spam_report


accept


I did lower the message_size check from 200k to 96k just to see if it
would make a difference. It just seems that hotmail messages are
killing the SA on the box.


As is clamd.

the box has been in use for over a year and has been working close to
flawlessness for that time.
