SA and Exim Problem

Well I have read every post. I'm a little dizzy

I can't get SA to scan emails, at least there is no info in the headers indicationg SA is working.

I installed the lastest SA (.spam.sh)
I shut off firewall for testing:

Spamd is running

[root@tp sbin]# ps awx|grep spamd
8313 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/spamd -d -c -m 5
14688 ? S 0:00 spamd child
17177 ? S 0:00 spamd child
21024 ? S 0:00 spamd child
23966 ? S 0:00 spamd child
6352 ? S 0:00 spamd child
8363 pts/0 S 0:00 grep spamd

exim.conf

# Spam Assassin
begin transports

spamcheck:
driver = pipe
batch_max = 100
command = /usr/sbin/exim -oMr spam-scanned -bS
current_directory = "/tmp"
group = mail
home_directory = "/tmp"
log_output
message_prefix =
message_suffix =
return_fail_output
no_return_path_add
transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc -u ${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/virtual/domainowners$
use_bsmtp
user = mail
# must use a privileged user to set $received_protocol on the way back in!

OS RHE / EXIM 4.43

Anything else I can check?

Look for the section of exim.conf that includes:

spamcheck_director:

and make sure that section is NOT commented out.

If I uncomment that line out. Exim reports an error. This line only appears in the following section:

# Spam Assassin
# spamcheck_director:
# driver = accept
# condition = "${if and { {!def:h_X-Spam-Flag:} {!eq {$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}} $
# retry_use_local_part
# transport = spamcheck
# no_verify


I thought this is supposed to be commented out in the new exim.conf
If I uncomment this section it works. I'm not sure where I got the idea above. Maybe too much reading. I'm tired today

I just wonder why:

# Spam Assassin
# spamcheck_director:
# driver = accept
# condition = "${if and { {!def:h_X-Spam-Flag:} {!eq {$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}} $
# retry_use_local_part
# transport = spamcheck
# no_verify

isn't with the rest of the SA info in the conf.

The section is commented out in the distribution file because both the folk at DirectAdmin (who wrote the first exim.conf file for DirectAdmin) and I (who rewrote it completely as the current version) believe that using SA should be optional, just as I left the /etc/virtual/use_rbl_domains file empty, as I believe using SpamBlocker should be optional as well.

The reason the two SA sections are separated is because they have to be; that's how the exim.conf file is designed.

That and I was also using an older conf as well
