This is a rather old way of doing things which has various problems.
Rather than continuing with an old version of Exim and a relatively poor
way of checking for spam, it would be *well* worth your time to upgrade to
Exim 4.x and use Exiscan instead (don't be put off - it's not difficult
and once you do it, you'll wish you did it earlier!). Check out my HOWTO
for more discussion:

Aside from everything else, you will find that with Exim 4's powerful
ACLs, you can block a lot of spam before it even reaches SpamAssassin.
SpamAssassin alone in a default install is of limited usefulness these
days unless you have Bayes-trained it, because spammers are good at
evading the default SA rules (especially since it's a while since SA 2.63
came out and they have therefore had time to experiment).
