It is going through spamd I can see that. The -u option is not being used.
Thanks for the help. I'm going to keep working at this.

That offers a REALLY strong hint that you're not really going the
spamc/spamd route from exim. As it happens I use bog standard sendmail.
Sendmail calls procmail. Procmail calls spamassassin via spamc. Procmail
does NOT daemonize spamassassin. Many other tools that perform similar
functions to procmail do effectively daemonize spamassassin.
You also might check if spamc is run with a -u flag (or equivalent -
see "man spamc" or "spamc --help"). If it is recheck that the a.cf file
can be read as that user. You might be being blocked at the /etc/mail
directory or /etc/mail/spamassassin directory with a lack of an x flag
for the declared spamc username.
(ALWAYS, repeat ALWAYS, test spamassassin as a user not as root. That
way permissions don't foul you up.)
I realize you've checked permissions. I'm just thinking about how I manage
to find things by just going over and over the same ground trying to look
deeper each time.
