Hello,
Thanks for the info people :-) I tried Tim Jackson's guide, and it looks
great, but the link to the webpage on "dman.ddts.net" no longer works, and
google's cache of it has gone too. Therefore, I think his approach is not
going to help me much. I don't really want to patch or reinstall/recompile
exim if I can help it.
I am therefore going to go down the route suggested by Nigel Wade of adding
a router and transport into my existing exim4 configuration.
However, I'm not too sure where to place the router... My routers are
currently in the following order:
mailman_router:
dnslookup:
system_aliases:
userforward:
localuser:
Where should spamassassin be placed? I presume it should go in between
mailman and dnslookup, right?
Also, as a passing question, should mailman actually be at the top of the
router list??
Thanks again,
Richard.
