I've been inundated with spam the past couple of days, and unfortunately away from the office where I could troubleshoot the issue. When I got back, however, I noticed a few things.

Firstly, exim.conf got updated yesterday am (presumably exim as well), automatically, as it should have.
Bash:
[root@exegol /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild]: date
Sat Sep 10 17:29:37 CDT 2022
[Load: 0.03] [Time: 17:29:37]
[root@exegol /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild]: ls -la /etc/exim.conf
-rw------- 1 root root 37959 Sep  9 03:42 /etc/exim.conf
[Load: 0.02] [Time: 17:30:03]

(not) Coincidentally, rspamd stopped working about 5 minutes before that.
Running through the options again shows that it has literally been disabled, along with blockcracking and easy_spam_fighter

Bash:
[root@exegol /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild]: ./build set spamd rspamd
Changed spamd option from [B]no [/B]to rspamd
[Load: 0.11] [Time: 17:30:43]
[root@exegol /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild]: ./build set blockcracking yes
Changed blockcracking option from [B]no [/B]to yes
[Load: 0.13] [Time: 17:31:11]
[root@exegol /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild]: ./build set easy_spam_fighter yes
Changed easy_spam_fighter option from [B]no [/B]to yes
[Load: 0.17] [Time: 17:31:33]

Automatically updating things are great (less work for me), but care should be taken to ensure that user options are preserved. This was setup properly, these options were on before this update, and rspamd was working perfectly! Afterwards, well, the history speaks for itself.
