(I wrote the exim.conf in question.)
I'm willing to do that at SMTP time, but I don't know if I can do that
and still keep the distribution of the spam the way the server
(DirectAdmin;
http://directadmin.com/) does it now. I suppose I can
add headers at data time but I'm not sure and haven't had the time to
look it up <frown>. I don't have anything to do with the company that
writes DirectAdmin so I'd rather not make any changes that requires
changing the way DirectAdmin works.

I sure hope that's not an option. It shouldn't be. I don't use the
latest copy of DA so I'm not sure. Bradley?

Yes, I can do it, but I need to offer the option of not rejecting it,
but delivering it. And that's what I'm not sure how to do at smtp data
time. Help appreciated <smile>.
