exim4 - Maildir, multiple domain, spamassassin, clamav

Can anyone point me to some online references for setting up exim4
(multiple file config) to handle Maildir format mailboxes, multiple
domains - each with separate alias files, spamassassin and ClamAV? I
have to make a new debian box, and I figured that I may as well jump to
the exim4 package.

TIA

Dear Justin,

Try http://sysadmin.oreilly.com/news/exim_0701.html
Point number 4 helped me out setting up virtual hosts.

At least one of your problems may be addressed by this page.

Sincerely,
Patrick Holthuizen

Thanks. I was actually thinking of trying out this method since I like
the alias file layout:

I *think* I have the rest already taken care of now, but I'm not sure
about the clamav part since my debian install of the clamav package
doesn't have a "/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl" I'll have to wait and see if
that is working correctly until it is online I guess.

Once I have my system up and running the way I want it, I am going to
publish the steps I took to get it there, but first I have to find out
what the problem is with the system not resolving hosts...

Hi there, Patrick.

I carried out clamav+spamassassin configuration referring to this
wonderful mini how-to:
http://www.timj.co.uk/linux/Exim-Spa...usScanning.pdf

it's a very quick one but it's clear and covers well whys and hows!

I hope you could find something good in it!

Bye bye.

Paolo

My biggest problem right now is some messed up DNS thing going on... I
can't resolve any of the debian mirrors to install my packages!

Anyway, I did manage to get almost all of the configuration done (just
need to add clamav in there), and I wrote the steps as I did them (so I
didn't forget any small details). Once I can get the darn clamav-daemon
package installed, I'll only need to figure out why my stupid exim
filters in .forward files aren't working.

Obvious one, but do your .forward files have:

# Exim filter

as the first line?
