The ":true" means the warning (header, in this case) is added whether
the message is spam or not. Without it, the warning would only appear if
SpamAssassin scored the message over the threshold.

The text of the report is configured in SpamAssassin, and by default
includes the "possible spam" text, which is why I'm getting what looks
like the wrong thing, but actually Exim's doing the right thing and I'm
doing the wrong thing :-)

At least, that's now my understanding.

Cheers,

John.
