I am a little confused.

Spamblocker 2 is build into DA 1.29.*
Do I need anymore anti-spam?
I have SA installed and ClamAV.
SA is not catching alot and I think ClamAV is working properly.

I Still get spam.
So my question is: What more can I do?

Ps. Why should I update to SB3 before it gets greylisting build in?
 
Make sure you have this uncommented in /etc/exim.conf:
Code:
# Spam Assassin
spamcheck_director:
  driver = accept
  condition = "${if and { \
                        {!def:h_X-Spam-Flag:} \
                        {!eq {$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}} \
                        {!eq {$received_protocol}{local}} \
                        {exists{/home/${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/etc/virtual/domainowners}{$value}}/.spamassassin/user_prefs}} \
                } {1}{0}}"
  retry_use_local_part
  transport = spamcheck
  no_verify

I suggest you to use ASSP and uncomment "require verify = sender" in /etc/exim.conf.
 
smtalk: I am pretty new to the hole Linux thing :D

Any easy way of installing ASSP instead of SA?
Maybe a feature for your excelent els script?

My exim file looks like yours :cool:
 
Maybe I'll include it in ELS in the future. Try searching google for the whole how-to :) Good luck!
 
You mustn't uninstall it, but you should want to do that, because SpamAssassin is a resource hog.
 
Still a bit confused

I am new to spam fighting on non-windows systems.
What are your experience? what goes together?

Well I've got these inputs form various people:
Mailscanner (Many complains about resource load)
Spamblocker2 (comes with DA)
Spamblocker3 ( is it released? )
Spamassasin (Build in, but many complains about resource load) (SA autolearn, should I use that?)
DSPAM
Amavisd-new (was told that together with SA it checks mails before they are accepted)
razor ??
bayesian ?? (isn't SA using baysian?)
ClamAV (installed it, do I need anymore AntiVirus?)
Exiscan (included in new versions of Exim) ?
CRM114
ASSP

PS.
Is there any alternatives to http://mailwatch.sourceforge.net/doku.php
When you are not using mailscanner?
I would be nice to have a stat, that shows the efficiency.
