Hi, 


I recently installed Exim 4 with SpamAssassin at smtp-time suport from
FreeBSD ports.  (Most recent collection downloaded from the freebsd.org
site.)

The port is exim-sa-exim in the mail collection.

There were some problems with the build procedure that could be
automated :

1.
The sa-exim-4.1 files are downloaded properly, but the exim source is
not patched by the   localscan_dlopen_exim_4.20_or_better.patch   file.

2.
localscan_dlopen_exim_4.20_or_better.patch needs to actually be
edited itself to work on FreeBSD - the line reading :
+LFLAGS=-rdynamic -ldl
should actually read :
+LFLAGS=-rdynamic


Once exim is then built, getting it to work with spamassassin is quite
simple.
