#########################

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts

run (say yes to any questions)
PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 cpan -i Archive::Tar Digest::SHA Mail::SPF IP::Country Net::Ident IO::Socket::INET6 Compress::Zlib Mail::DKIM LWP::UserAgent HTTP::Date Encode::Detect

./spam.sh

Answer yes to ANY questions EXCEPT:
>> Are you ready for manual configuration?
^Say NO… the defaults are the most reliable!

/usr/bin/spamd -d -c -m 15
chkconfig spamassassin on

In order to get exim to use the spamd program, you’ll need to make some
changes in your /etc/exim.conf.

Change:
# Spam Assassin
#spamcheck_director:
# driver = accept
# condition = “${if and { \
# {!def:h_X-Spam-Flag:} \
# {!eq {$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}} \
# {!eq {$received_protocol}{local}} \
#
{exists{/home/${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/etc/virtual/domainowners}{$value}}/.spamassassin/user_prefs}}
\
# {<{$message_size}{100k}} \
# } {1}{0}}”
# retry_use_local_part
# transport = spamcheck
# no_verify

change TO (if its there why isn’t it on by default jesus!?)

# Spam Assassin
spamcheck_director:
driver = accept
condition = “${if and { \
{!def:h_X-Spam-Flag:} \
{!eq {$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}} \
{!eq {$received_protocol}{local}} \

{exists{/home/${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/etc/virtual/domainowners}{$value}}/.spamassassin/user_prefs}}
\
{<{$message_size}{100k}} \
} {1}{0}}”
retry_use_local_part
transport = spamcheck
no_verify

then restart exim
/sbin/service exim restart
