I am using ACLs with exim4 to scan email during the actual smtp
connection (so I can reject spam before my server accepts it). It's
pretty straightforward. My ACL looks like this:

# Reject messages with a SpamAssassin score >7
deny     message   = Rejected: Flagged as spam ($spam_score).
         spam      = nobody:true
         condition = ${if >{$spam_score_int}{70}{1}{0}}


Everything works just fine for mail destined to local accounts, but
there seems to be a discrepancy in spamassassin when mail is delivered
to a forwarded account (the forwarder directs mail to another local
account; i.e., webmaster@??? --> szinski@???). What
happens is that spamassassin scores the message low (non-spam) when it
accepts it from the Internet, but then scores it higher (is spam) when
the message is rerouted to the local mailbox. Here is a snippet from
maillog that illustrates this:

As you can see, during the initial smtp pass (accepting from remote
host) the message is deemed "clean" with a score of 2.6. Then, when the
same message it delivered to the local account, it is identified as spam
with a score of 7.5. Unfortunately, my ACL only kicks in during the
first pass so the message is delivered instead of rejected.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
