No. Spamassassin runs on the mta server itself.
Spamassassin and exim content scanning is working, since emails are
being spam checked. It's just that we are now getting these panic log
entries, whereas we didn't before.
I see that exim sets a spamd timeout of 240 seconds, I'll see if I can
extend that and see what happens. Secondly, would the use of a unix
socket perform better than the defaults of '127.0.0.1:783'?
