I'm using Red Hat 7.1 and Exim 3.22
I have tested spamc and it works just fine, spamd is running, however I
can't get Exim to automagically check the emails with spamassassin.
I followed the directions everyone refers to, supplied by 'dman'.
I must be missing something in my Exim config.
Here's the pertinent pieces of my config:

######################################################################

# This transport is used for local delivery to user mailboxes in traditional
# BSD mailbox format. By default it will be run under the uid and gid of the
# local user, and requires the sticky bit to be set on the /var/mail
directory.
# Some systems use the alternative approach of running mail deliveries under
a
# particular group instead of using the sticky bit. The commented options
below
# show how this can be done.

local_delivery:

# This transport is used for handling pipe deliveries generated by alias
# or .forward files. If the pipe generates any standard output, it is
returned
# to the sender of the message as a delivery error. Set return_fail_output
# instead of return_output if you want this to happen only when the pipe
fails
# to complete normally. You can set different transports for aliases and
# forwards if you want to - see the references to address_pipe in the
directors
# section below.

address_pipe:
driver = pipe
return_output


# This transport is used for handling deliveries directly to files that are
# generated by aliasing or forwarding.

address_file:

return_path_add


# This transport is used for handling autoreplies generated by the filtering
# option of the forwardfile director.

# Local addresses are those with a domain that matches some item in the
# "local_domains" setting above, or those which are passed back from the
# routers because of a "self=local" setting (not used in this
configuration).


# This director handles aliasing using a traditional /etc/aliases file.
# If any of your aliases expand to pipes or files, you will need to set
# up a user and a group for these deliveries to run under. You can do
# this by uncommenting the "user" option below (changing the user name
# as appropriate) and adding a "group" option if necessary. Alternatively,
you
# can specify "user" on the transports that are used. Note that those
# listed below are the same as are used for .forward files; you might want
# to set up different ones for pipe and file deliveries from aliases.

system_aliases:
driver = aliasfile
file = /etc/aliases
search_type = lsearch
# user = exim
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe


# This director handles forwarding using traditional .forward files.
# If you want it also to allow mail filtering when a forward file
# starts with the string "# Exim filter", uncomment the "filter" option.

# The no_verify setting means that this director will be skipped when
# verifying addresses if sender_verify or receiver_verify is set (though
# they are not set by default). Similarly, no_expn means that this director
# will be skipped if smtp_expn_hosts is set to allow any hosts to use the
# EXPN command.

# The check_ancestor option means that if the forward file generates an
# address that is an ancestor of the current one, the current one gets
# passed on instead. This covers the case where A is aliased to B and B
# has a .forward file pointing to A.

# The three transports specified at the end are those that are used when
# forwarding generates a direct delivery to a file, or to a pipe, or sets
# up an auto-reply, respectively.

userforward:
driver = forwardfile
file = .forward
no_verify
no_expn

# Remote addresses are those with a domain that does not match any item

# Added by OCC 10/09/01
domainlist:
driver = domainlist
search_type = partial-lsearch
route_file = /etc/mail/mailroutes
transport = remote_smtp

# This router routes to remote hosts over SMTP using a DNS lookup with
# default options.

lookuphost:
driver = lookuphost
transport = remote_smtp

# This router routes to remote hosts over SMTP by explicit IP address,
# when an email address is given in "domain literal" form, for example,
# <user@[192.168.35.64]>. The RFCs require this facility. However, it is
# little-known these days, and has been exploited by evil people seeking
# to abuse SMTP relays. Consequently it is commented out in the default
# configuration. If you uncomment this router, you also need to comment out
# "forbid_domain_literals" above, so that Exim can recognize the syntax of
# domain literal addresses.

# domain_literal:
# driver = ipliteral
# transport = remote_smtp

Should I change the domainlookup router to use the spamcheck transport?

Any help would be greatly appreciated
