For anyone who is interested, I was able to get exim to call
spamassassin according to $local_part.
In acl_check_rcpt I added:
# Set variable for user to be used by spamassassin
warn
set acl_m0 = $local_part
Then in acl_check_data I was able to call spamassassin:
spam = $acl_m0
This allowed me to get around not being able to use $local_part in
acl_check_data.
In order for this to work, spamd be started by root. I also noticed
that $local_part is specified by the e-mail, not the final delivery
account as set in /etc/aliases, so mails to postmaster or abuse, for
example, will not be able to create user_pref files,etc. I am using
MySQL to store user/bayes/awl settings, so in my case there is no
problem.
