We had a discussion on this just over a year ago. Search the mailing list
archives for The Week Of Monday 19 January 2004. Look for the thread
titled:

Removing spamassassin headers from incoming mail

I was, and am still, using the system filter to remove headers and replace
them with my own versions. I outlined the method I use in the above
thread.

I note from later messages that you're doing something similar in a 
transport.  That's the really nice thing about exim.  There's often more 
than one way to do things.  It's just a matter of what works for you!
