Works fine here (Debian Woody, Exim 4.24, SA 2.60, exiscan-acl 4.24-12).

The only issue we had was that 2.60 made `use_terse_report' a NOOP,
pending its removal in a future release, which made `X-Spam-Report' a
tad more verbose than we'd like ;-). The following is a quote from my
post to exiscan-users on the issue (on 2003-10-15):

<quote>
We did the following in local.cf:

report_safe    0
clear_report_template
report _HITS_/_REQD_ ---- Start SpamAssassin results _REPORT_
report ---- End SpamAssassin results


which clears the contents of the report header, and then creates a new
header which looks remarkably similar to the old `terse' format. :-)

The advantage of this method is that it doesn't involve editing any of
SA's own files, and therefore stops changes to e.g. 10_misc.cf being
wiped out by the next upgrade ;-)
