Exim errors related to the SpamAssassin?

[Robert Nicholson <ro...@gmail.com>]

So the exim error I see is something like this

2023-05-17 13:16:14 1pyvlo-0006AM-0v internal problem in userforward router (recipient is elastica@lhvm02.lizardhill.com): failure to transfer data from subprocess: status=0100 readerror='No such file or directory’

Now the userforward filter I have is a perlscript that will launch spamassassin programmatically.

I cannot tell for sure but email from one particular address consistently results in the above error and I’m thinking it may be related to plugins in use by SA.

Besides Razor (You’ll see I’ve commented it out)  which of these rely upon external executables?

Please note Razor does this on my machine at the moment which means it’s out of date relative to what’s happen on the box.

./razor-client
-bash: ./razor-client: /usr/local/bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

But also note the No such file or directory 

Any of the above plugins similarly use external executables?

I’m not the administrator on the machine so I cannot debug the exim but I could if necessary debug the perlscript and SA but so far I’ve not seen anything unusual when I push offending messages thru the perlscript.
