sa-exim (4.2.1-14) unstable; urgency=low
If you are using sa-exim's greylisting plugin for SpamAssassin you may
want to review your setup. Previously the documentation recommended
running spamd as the "nobody" user. This is not a very good
recommendation as nobody/nogroup should be completely unprivileged and
thus not own anything. This version won't change the ownership of any
directories or files and won't try to fix your SpamAssassin
configuration, but if you haven't modified /etc/cron.d/greylistclean
it will be changed to run greylistclean as "Debian-exim", which won't
work if the greylisting data is owned by nobody:nogroup.

sa-exim (4.2.1-8) unstable; urgency=medium
* Since version 4.67-1, exim4 only exports those symbols that are part
of the official local_scan API. Unfortunately, sa-exim has all along
cheated and declared some "extern" variables by itself, something that
no longer works. For one of these, body_linecount, no workaround is
currently possible, meaning that it will not be updated if the message
body is rewritten (by way of SpamAssassin's report_safe together with
SARewriteBody: 1 in sa-exim.conf. This means that if you use
$body_linecount or $message_linecount in string expansions in your
Exim configuration, they will refer to the line count before rewriting
the message body.
This change will hopefully be restored soon, either by extending the
local_scan API or by making Exim count the lines.
