It is possible to have spamassassin examine email before you accept it,
using an Exim ACL. It's far better to reject than drop the emails, since
false positives will be reported back to the sender. This means you can be
more aggressive in your spam filtering.

It's in section 41.2 and 41.3 of the manual.
