No, it doesn't mean that. It's an indication that the message has been
scanned. Exim should be configured to deliver messages with
received-protocol "spam-scanned" and not scan it again. That pipe will be
acted on whether the message is spam or not.

You can't, and you most likely don't want to. If you do that you will be
sending a bounce message to the (almost certainly) forged sender address.
This method accepts the message before scanning it, so you can't reject it
correctly; the worst you can do is bounce it.
