I mention the potential alternate path because it may go through spamd
again but skipped when prior markups indicate it's already been scored.
I remember this tripping some people up in the distant past.

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.

Have you generated said debug output by running spamd with the -D flag?
That is the debug output that matters. Also run spamassassin -D as a
bog standard user rather than root.
To minimize interruptions to mail flow I'd test it this way:
stop spamd
manually start spamd with the -D flag as well as all the other usual flags
and values.
Run tests through it using regular mail and a manual "spamc".
Stop the -D spamd.
Restart the normal spamd.
This should only take a minute or two.

Yes. The permissions are correct. Yes, the debug output shows that the files
and rules were found and matched against the test message.

Did you set permissions? (-rw-r--r--)
Are there any signs in the debug output that the files were even found at all?
Whatever it is that actually calls spamd or uses spamassassin internally may
do something to direct it off into left field.

Yes. I restarted everything. When this did not work I rebooted the server.
This still did not help.

When I add add custom rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf the rules work
as expected. If I create any *.cf file and put the rules in they do not work.
My test rule is:
body test_match_all /.*/
score test_match_all -0.01
Rules only work if they are in local.cf. If I run the following command:
echo | spamassassin --debug
I can see my custom rules that are in files other than local.cf get called.
Why would they work this way but never get called when spamd is called from
exim?
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Ray
Did you restart spamassassin or the tool that uses spamassassin itself?
