I think this is your problem. With the setting shown above, it will
look for your user_prefs file in the directory specified:
/mail/detroitonline.com/mail/tom/user_prefs
Maybe you want this instead:
--config-virtual-dir=/mail/%d/mail/%l/.spamassassin

Right, everything should go to syslog.

Syslog.

Because it's looking in the wrong place for your user_prefs. See
above.

Exactly. If the user exim owns the directories, spamc should run as
that user. You then use the -u option to determine where SA looks
for the user_prefs, Bayes, and AWL files.

Pretty close. Just make the change shown above and you should be
fine.
