for spam guard we use spamassassin:

$sudo apt-get install spamassassin

By default after install spamassassin is turn off

Go to /etc/default/

$sudo vim /etc/default/spamassassin

find

ENABLE=0

replace

ENABLE=1

save and exit

$sudo /etc/init.d/spamassassin start
[ ok ] Starting spamassassin (via systemctl): spamassassin.service

check process:

$ ps ax |grep spam
26788 ? Ss 0:01 /usr/sbin/spamd -d --pidfile=/var/run/spamassassin.pid --create-prefs --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir
26789 ? S 0:00 spamd child
26790 ? S 0:00 spamd child

$sudo netstat -anp|grep spam
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:783 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 26788/spamassassin.
tcp6 0 0 ::1:783 :::* LISTEN 26788/spamassassin.

all good

go to exim config file

find this section:

spamd_address = 127.0.0.1 783

#and next:

# here check spam and get score
warn spam = Debian-exim:true
 !hosts = +relay_from_hosts
 add_header = X-Spam-Flag: YES\n\
 X-Spam_score: $spam_score\n\
 X-Spam_score_int: $spam_score_int\n\
 X-Spam_bar: $spam_bar\n\
 #X-Spam_report: $spam_report

this is will include in mail letter as header

if needed restart exim.
