If you read chapter 40 of the documentation you can learn how ACLs work in
general (chapter 41 is about the spam condition and the $spam_* variables).
For example, changing "warn" into "deny" will cause all mail over SA's spam
threshold to be rejected (the add_header modifier becomes meaningless then).

You can add additional statements after that "warn" statement to e.g. reject
spam over 8 points ($spam_score_int >= 80) and you could add a router or a
filter rule (uncomment "allow_filter" in the userforward router to enable
Exim filters in .forward) that sorts probable spam into a separate mail
folder. The possibilities are endless.

(Why are there underscores in the header field names in the default config,
guys? Isn't that a bit nonstandard?)
