Both. You can get exim to talk directly to spamassassin and postfix 2.3.3's milter capability alows the same with spamassassin milter.
That is not exactly the same thing, since with "milter", you are adding one more layer.
exim loads in spamassassin?
spamd_address = 127.0.0.1 783
Then you just add the spam rules on the mime ACL.
Yes, but the virtual mail backend of postfix is much less flexible, and so using vpopmail makes sense.
Interesting comment...for the umpteenthed time I must take a look at exim :P
The main point is that Exim ACLs really rock. You can do everything there, ranging from SPF, Greylisting, spamassassin and av, mixing them to your delight. I can easily say that I don't want to check for spam or greylist authenticated users, unless they come from a give network and are sending e-mail to domain X. You can use some very interesting variables on the acls for control, something like:
warn set acl_m2 = ${lookup mysql{GREYLIST_TEST}{$value}{0}}
and then I can test for it:
condition = ${if eq{$acl_m2}{0}{1}}
If you have anything that does user management based on sql, you can make exim use those tables. Even tho I haven't tried, it is very likely that you can even use the same tools you use for vpopmail. Or for anything else.
I am sure exim can use the vpopmail tables for some stuff at the least. Do you use the Centos base exim or compile your own?
I actually build my own (rpm), since centos stock one isn't compiled for mysql nor spf.
If you want to take a look at my rpm, contact me off-list and I'll give you the url for download.
