Only that SA-Exim is specifically designed to use SpamAssassin
(specifically spamc -> spamd,) not SpamBayes.
Quite another point is, that most (almost all) spam comes via open
relays/proxies and the only really viable way of fending it off is to
smtp 550. SA-Exim can be configured to save a copy since it's been
scanned anyway.
