*sheepish grin*
Well after running it in debug mode and running numerous tests, I
finally found my issue.

It was a silly mistake of having 2 typos in both exim and SA, AND
forgetting to SIGHUP the spamd daemon and forgetting that spamassassin
-t reads its config when it starts. *sigh* I knew I should have only
done this sort of thing in the morning.

Anyway, adding the headers in the pre-DATA or before causes it to be
present in the message passed to SA which is exactly what I wanted and
exactly what the manual says :P This means you can pass all sorts of
markers in addition to what it figures itself which is brilliant.

Thanks for that :)
