Thanks Tony I did read the changelog, just didn't understand that was
the fix there.
please understand i am quite new to exim configs etc so should i set a
timeout_defer directive under my spamcheck directive and that should
fix my issues? because spamd is still dying and exim defunct is
showing up in ps aux with exim 4.51 and spam assassin 3.02.
here is what I currently have:
spamcheck:
driver = pipe
batch_max = 100
command = /usr/sbin/exim -oMr spam-scanned -bS
current_directory = "/tmp"
group = mail
home_directory = "/tmp"
log_output
message_prefix =
message_suffix =
return_fail_output
no_return_path_add
transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc -u
${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/virtual/domainowners}{$value}}
use_bsmtp
user = mail
temp_errors = *
# must use a privileged user to set $received_protocol on the way back in!
I just added the temp_errors = * to see how it will go.
thanks for your time,
Justin
