            Bug ID: 215871
           Summary: mail/exim: SA-Exim no longer works even when enabled
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest

Since upgrading to Exim 4.88, exim would not launch due to not being able to
handle parameters 'spamd_address' and 'spam = ' in the configuration.

These parameters don't appear to have been deprecated by upstream as they're
still mentioned in all the docs and sample configuration.

  root at jazz:/usr/local/etc/exim # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim start
  Starting exim.
  2017-01-08 10:59:13 Exim configuration error in line 151 of
/usr/local/etc/exim/configure:
  error in ACL: unknown ACL condition/modifier in "warn    spam = nobody:true"
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim: WARNING: failed to start exim

I also tried the

* exim-sa-exim 4.88+4.2 package
* exim-sa-exim from ports
* building the 'exim' port with SA_EXIM enabled.

I can see at build time warnings from sa-exim.c about implicit casts taking
place; so it does appear to be being built.

I used SVN ports to extract Exim 4.87.1 to get the mail server running again,
and this works.
