I had a similar wish. In the end I created a new userpref called
Reject_Threshold (stored in MySQL) and modified a couple of modules in SA to
add a 'X-Reject-Flag' header if the score was above this value. It was then
simply a case of creating a router in Exim which called a transport if any
mail had this header. The transport was simply an appendfile with the file
specified as '/dev/null'. It works fine, and is particularly useful when
used with blacklists in SA as the very high score means it goes straight to
the bitbucket.
