It looks like the only items that are discarded without log entries are
these:

if $header_subject contains "rice"
then
unseen finish
endif

if $header_subject contains "rize"
then
unseen finish
endif


I think they're intended to reject "[Pp]ri[cz]e", but you already have
checks for those, which do log. These entries will discard a lot of
legitimate email, if you get email in English. There are over 500 english
words containing rice or rize!

Best advice is to remove all those tests for simple strings in the subject
line.

>#### Install Notes
>#
># Exim filters run the exim filter language - a very primitive
># scripting language - in place of a user .forward file, or on
># a per system basis (on all messages passing through).
># The filtering capability is documented in the main set of manuals
># a copy of which can be found on the exim web site
>#       http://www.exim.org/
>#
># To install, copy the filter file (with appropriate permissions)
># to /etc/exim/system_filter.exim and add to your exim config file
># [location is installation depedant - typicaly /etc/exim/config ]
># in the first section the line:-
>#       message_filter = /etc/exim/system_filter.exim
>#       message_body_visible = 5000
>#
># You may also want to set the message_filter_user & message_filter_group
># options, but they default to the standard exim user and so can
># be left untouched.  The other message_filter_* options are only
># needed if you modify this to do other functions such as deliveries.
># The main exim documentation is quite thorough and so I see no need
># to expand it here...
>#
># Any message that matches the filter will then be bounced.

>#### LIMITATIONS
>#
># This filter tries to parse MIME with a regexp... that doesn't

># specified in message_body_visible
>#
>#### BASIS
>#
># The regexp that is used to pickup MIME/uuencoded body parts with
># quoted filenames is replicated below (in perl format).
