The effort to create a config shortcut is understandable - works on simple hosts - but is a REALLY bad idea on anything else. This is how to get a starting config.
You will want to get rid of lines with macros.

Bogofilter is the spam filter of choice.
I have bogofilter working with exim-4.12 - the router needed
domain = +localdomains so outgoing e-mail did not get scanned.
I've fixed it by generating a unique header to tag (x-flag (make up your own)) as it scanned here - and look for that instead of the x-bogosity header in the router. Then in local deliveries I remove the header again so it won't effect any filter stats.
Be sure to set the owner of the word list to something exims!
(maill)
# Bogofilter will add X-Bogosity header to all incoming mail. # This usually goes right after the dns_lookup router and # before any local deliver routers. Location is important! bogo_router: domains = +local_domains no_verify
condition = ${if !eq {$received_protocol}{bogodone} {1}{0}} driver = accept
transport = bogo_transport
#end of routerS
# Bogofilter will add X-Bogosity header to all incoming mail. # This can go anywhere in the transport section, usually at # the very end after address_reply bogo_transport: driver = pipe
command = /usr/sbin/exim -oMr bogodone -bS use_bsmtp = true headers_add = X-Bogofilterd: true transport_filter = /usr/bin/bogofilter -d /etc/bogofilter -l -p -e -u return_fail_output = true group = mail user = mail home_directory = "/tmp" current_directory = "/tmp" log_output = true return_path_add = false
local_delivery: driver = appendfile file = /var/mail/$local_part #lose the X-flag header headers_remove = X-flag delivery_date_add envelope_to_add return_path_add group = mail mode = 0660 # end of transport
Is the X-bogosity header ignored while creating the data bases? or would I have to remove them?
That is if I run a test - will it replace the old bogosity header?
I can imagine that spammers will put a fake header in after people start using the filter. Any provision to change the header name as a command-line option?
It's not a problem. In lexer.l is code to detect any "X-Bogosity" header lines and remove them. Any attempts by a spammer to supply their own X-Bogosity lines to deceive bogofilter will fail. Note: you must be using the passthrough option ('-p') to have bogofilter rewrite the message. (The rewritten message has old X-Bogosity lines removed and the new one inserted at the end of the message header). bogofilter also has a provision in the config file to change the x-bogosity name (but it is hard to think of a better name<g>)

Anyone getting started should archive a few 100 spams and emails as a first step. It also will flag most viruses if you put them in with the spam.
Keep all your spams and real emails archived by quarters - as your email and spams change you may want to create a new data base with more recent messages.
I had some problems with configuring exim 4 and cyrus but now it works.... maybe this helps others as well

These configurations enable exim and hylafax (www.hylafax.org) work together, i mean sending fax by email (user@123456.fax). Obs: There is a problem faxmail does not support email in html format. If someone solved this problem, pls tell me.

To enable hylafax/faxmail/exim4 to process mail as 12345678@yourdomain.tld, that is, fax number as $local_part follow the directions below.
Please note this is best for standalone hylafax servers that do not process other email for local delivery. If you are using hylafax on a server that performs other functions, particularly email for your domain/local delivery, you would do best to use the traditional foo@12345678.fax transport route seen above.
1. Put the following in: '/etc/exim4/conf.d/transport/40_exim4-hylafax-gateway' substitute your country code as necessary by changing +1 to +33

fax:

user = faxmaster
command ="/usr/bin/faxmail -n -d +1$local_part"
home_directory = /tmp
use_shell = true
2. Put the following in: '/etc/exim4/conf.d/router/050_exim4-hylafax-gateway' make sure you change yourdomain.tld to your domain, such as foobar.com

transport = fax
route_list ="*yourdomain.tld"
3. Edit '/etc/exim4/conf.d/main/01_exim4-config_listmacrosdefs' to change from the local delivery option of mail_spool to the new fax transport you've created.
.ifndef LOCAL_DELIVERY
# The default transport, set in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf,
# defaulting to mail_spool. See CONFDIR/conf.d/transport/ for possibilities
LOCAL_DELIVERY=fax
#LOCAL_DELIVERY=mail_spool
.endif
4. If using single-file config, proceed to step 5. If using exim4 split configuration, update your configuration file with 'update-exim4.conf.template -r'
5. Restart exim4 '/etc/init.d/exim4 restart'
6. Send a test fax to 2345678@yourdomain.tld the transport will add the country code automatically, resulting in 12345678@yourdomain.tld</code>
Hylafax HTML setup
How to send HTML files?
I want to fax HTML documents so they look like html pages not
>source. >
First of all, fetch html2ps by Jan Karrman from : http://www.tdb.uu.se/~jan/html2ps.html
It is a perl script and does an excellent job on any text/html
stuff; it will also tackle embedded images if you have
ImageMagick and PerlMagick installed.
Second, insert the following into the typerules file, just
above the bottom line :
# HTML support
0 string <!DOCTYPE HTML ps /usr/local/bin/html2ps %i >%o
0 string <!doctype html ps /usr/local/bin/html2ps %i >%o
0 string <HEAD ps /usr/local/bin/html2ps %i >%o
0 string <head ps /usr/local/bin/html2ps %i >%o
0 string <TITLE ps /usr/local/bin/html2ps %i >%o
0 string <title ps /usr/local/bin/html2ps %i >%o
0 string <HTML ps /usr/local/bin/html2ps %i >%o
0 string <html ps /usr/local/bin/html2ps %i >%o
Remember all this is at the client end (if your client is a
different machine to your fax server).
