Unfortunately I don't know exim, but it seems it cannot cope with SA not scanning / returning messages due to them bigger than the max msg size.
Don't think that that is a problem SA, because on my sendmail set-up it works perfectly. Maybe a bug in the local_scan() function? Wouldn't hurt to post the same question to the exim mailing list. -Sietse From: Jon Armitage Sent: Tue 19-Dec-06 14:32 To: users@spamassassin.apache.org Subject: Intermittent spamc error I have found the related Exim message... 2006-12-19 11:47:02 1GwdM9-0006Pd-35 local_scan() function timed out - message temporarily rejected (size 320896) ... so maybe I've posted this to the wrong list.
