Anyone else able to replicate this problem? I have done everything right:

ran ./spam.sh from the da scripts folder
uncommented out spamassin stuff from /etc/exim.conf
started spamd

It rejects and give the message above. I don't see anything in the logs about it. I also tried upgrading and using SpamAssassin 2.63 same deal.

I am at a loss

Not sure.. found this though:

Maybe try and run the included tests:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/packages/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.55
spamassassin -t < sample-nonspam.txt > nonspam.out
spamassassin -t < sample-spam.txt > spam.out

I read all though that maillist last night. I found that exact same post, I don't think that is my issue. He said it was permissions of the spamc and spamd if I remember correctly.

I am rebuilding the system to make sure it was not us.

John found the problem last night, search the /etc/exim.conf for spamc. Replace this:

/usr/bin/spamc

to

/usr/local/bin/spamc

I also added this script to boot spamd on boot since it does not currently does this. You can drop this in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/

You can call it spamd.sh and chmod to 744.

#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup / shutdown script for SpamAssassin daemon

case "$1" in
start)
/usr/local/bin/spamd --auto-whitelist --daemonize --pidfile=/var/run/spamd.pid && echo -n ' spamd'
;;

stop)
/bin/kill `cat /var/run/spamd.pid` > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo -n ' spamd'
;;

*)
echo "Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop}" >&2
;;
esac

exit 0

This was driving me nuts! I made the mistake of not methodically looking at it; went straight for a more complex issue.

Thanks John!

This IS still an issue. But the change of /usr/bin/spamc to /usr/local/bin/spamc found in this post does resolve the issue.
