Hello,
Quick question... This is a snippet from the exim mailing list:

So... do you think i'm suffering this bug? The URL above indicates that
it was fixed in 3.1.4, but am i suffering what looks like that bug, do
you think?
I'm still waiting to hear about the possible timeout setting in the exim
config.
Trouble is, with testing, if it goes wrong again, email is returned to
the sender, and for people like my manager etc... this is unacceptable.
Unfortunately, we do not have a test environment at the moment, so if i
do make a change, i need to be as certain as i can be that it will fix
the problem :-(
Thanks again people...
Richard.
Not being familiar with Exim4 I'm not sure what to suggest. The Debian
version of SA should have that patch applied. I saw no recent Exim related
bug reports on the Debian spamassassin page (but you may have discovered a
new bug). Just curious, what CPU/hardware are you running and how many
messages per day? I will mention that it is possible to downgrade back to
the stable (3.0.x) version of spamassassin provided you have not installed
programs (like FuzzyOcr) that depend on a 3.1.x version. Even if you did
install something like FuzzyOcr you could simply remove it. I doubt you have
made any incompatible changes to local.cf so there should be no reason you
couldn't keep your current files (/etc/default/spamassassin and
/etc/spamassassin/local.cf).
# apt-get install spamassassin/stable
# apt-get install spamc/stable
but only as a last resort. This worked for me on a test system - YMMV.
Yeah, a test box would come in handy here. Is anyone else out there using
this setup successfully?
