First thanks for helping get the logging corrected and the daeomizing set with -d.
Working on getting SA 3.1 working effectively here and I think I may have some issues with it at this time in terms of it scanning all incoming mail. I'm running exim 3.36 here and have 4.60 ready to go if I can get a good SA 3.1 and Sophos ACL for it. My old SA 3.0.4 didn't seem to miss anything or generate this type of error logging at least. I'm watching my logs and it seems that spamd is having issues with errors or possibly skipping messages. Command line is: /usr/local/bin/spamd -d -u spamd --m 10 --max-conn-per-child=50 Log snippets etc. in attachment as the spam filter killed my first attempt...and now my second as an attachment so I'll just include the log here as the headers seenm to get clobberred. If anyone wants to see them I can email them directly.
