You could let exim invoke your SpamAssassin at SMTP time. Thus you can
decide whether exim will accept the mail depending on the spam score
SpamAssassin returns.
This procedure is described in the docs concerning the exiscan-acl
patch which is included in exim since version 4.50.
In short terms: You make SpamAssassin listening on a socket. exim will
then connect to this socket, the mail is spam-scanned, and depending
on the spam score SpamAssassin returns, your exim can accept or reject
the mail in question. If exim accepts it, it is processed in the
"normal way" (i.e. it will be delivered). If exim rejects the mail
because of too much probability for being spam, the other mail server
will see a "550 Mail rejected" (or something similar) and has to
create the corresponding bounce message.

Christian Schmidt
