Subject: [exim] Asking for help getting Spam Assassin to work on Exim 4.85 & Exim4u
Hello All

I am asking for help getting spam assassin to work with on Freebsd 10.1 and Exim 4.85. I am really stuck and the only option left is to ask list members for help.

If I disable the spam assassin option in the config every thing works as intended. When I enable spam assassin I get these messages in my log files.

R=virtual_domains defer (-1): Temporary internal error

The mail then spools.

I have been through spam assassin config and installed everything according to this howto.
http://exim4u.org/svn/exim4u_src/tags/1.2.2/FREEBSD

I set up exim this way

pkg install -y exim-mysql-4.85_1

But I have done it on other server using make .... etc etc you know the old way but it makes no difference which way exim is complied the result is the same.

root@32.165 ~ # exim --version

I am not sure if these are the correct options for exim to run spamassassin.

Everything else works as intended it is just getting spam assassin to scan the email with out breaking everything.

I am at my wits end and would really appreciate any help that I should receive.

Many thanks
