Use the SA options clear_report_template and report in your local.conf.
This way you should be able to achieve the same output.

Exiscan does not call spamc, it directly calls spamd.
Exiscan does NOT put the message "through" spamd as a unix
filter or spamc would do. Instead Exiscan just hands a
COPY of the message over to spamd. Exiscan then only
gets back the results (Spam-Points, Report, ...) from
spamd, NOT the whole (possibly modified) message.

See above.
