Dovcot + Exim + SpamAssassin +XBL-RBL exim.conf
Hi All,
UPDATED ON OCTOBER 16TH, 2006 TO INCLUDE CORRECT SPAM FILTER + ADDED FILTERS. Since I cannot Reattach a new file here (edit of a msg in the board doesn't allow to attach a new file if none exists).. look for the msg that does have the updated file.
For those of you that moved to Dovcot-MailDir mail system (which has been working great so far), you have probably went through the process of ./build dovcot .....
In the event that you wanted to enable SpamAssasin and installed dovcot, your exim.conf file was modified during the dovcot installation, and the SpamAssasin director in the exim.conf also needs a little tweaking.
I had the misfortune of having an exim.conf file that somehow got currupted and I wanted to 'bring it back'.
Unfortunatly,. at the time of writting, there is no exim.conf file that is dovcot patched and ready to be d/l, so if you accidently d/l the default exim.conf from the knowledgebase you will end up with the wrong settings and you can imagine what havoc this will do.
I'm attaching here the dovcot modified and patched exim.conf file that I'm sure someday will make it to the knowledgbase, but in the meantime.. here it is.
I forgot to mention that this file is also patched with John's of DA solution for the filters with the user spambox turned on. Without this fix, instead of deleting spam, you will be collecting it and storing it very nicely. (obviously you do not want to store it, but delete it).
Cheers,
-Alon.
