As a long time Debian User (1996) may I humbly suggest that you
ditch Debian's implementation, download the latest versions of exim,
spamassassin and clamav from the web and build them all from source.
It all just works as per the manual and you'll get a better understanding
of how it all hangs together. I've always done this with Debian -
(I use it as a high quality base). YMMV of course.

Out of the box and for simple situations, Debian's way sort of works -
but it's always been a compromise to try and be everything to all users.

I fully expect to get flamed for the above so apologies to the rest of
the list - the amount of confusion caused by Debian's exim (and other
packages) 'way of doing things' is legendary`.

Regards,
