You can easily do this in the system filter. Please read the filter
specification (http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.66/doc/html/filter.html)
(hint: the keywords are "unseen" and "deliver") as well as the main
specification (http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.66/doc/html/spec_html/),
chapters 43 and 11 (look for "$header_"). If SpamAssassin is being called
from within Exim's ACL system you can check $spam_score_int instead of the
headers. To prevent outgoing mail from being forwarded you can add a
condition based on one or more of the $sender_* variables (ch. 11 again), or
perhaps more easily by setting an ACL variable (ch. 40).

Sorry for not giving a complete example, but I believe you learn by doing, and
that's a good thing since I suspect that you miss out on many of Exim's
powers by hiding it behind cPanel.
