isn't that always the case, if you know what you are doing ?

I for myself wish, that the exims docs get smaller in the future.
Somethimes it's cool if you just have to write something like this :

use_spamassassin              = yes_i_do;
spamassassin.checkDomain      = name1.de : name2.de
spamassassin.criticalScore    = 5.0;
spamassassin.doCriticalAction = mark_as_spam;


If it's too simplistic, you can do it the hard way :)

I bet that most of the people just need those 4 lines in theire config.

It's the same for clamd, you would need 3 lines :

clamav.use              = yes_i_do;
clamav.checkDomain      = name1.de : name2.de
clamav.doCriticalAction = drop;


BTW: pls add to the whishlist a directory "/etc/exim/conf.d/" for
autoincludes.

i know what include is for, but thats not very "automatic" , isn't it
.It would allow
addons like any other major package like apache or munin offers.

# yum install clamav-exim

would drop this into /etc/exim/conf.d/20_spamassassin.conf

spamassassin.use              = yes_i_do;
spamassassin.checkDomain      = *
spamassassin.criticalScore    = 5.0;
spamassassin.doCriticalAction = mark_as_spam;


and tada it works.. harmless, but working out of the box.
