Ted, you are completely right - $Spam_Score_Int keeps it's value at most
during the same SMTP session (checked for Exim 4.63).
Exim's Manual says about this variable: "This variable is special; its
value is
saved with the message, and written to Exim’s spool file. This means that
it can be used during
the *whole life of the message* on your Exim system, in particular, in
routers or transports during
the later delivery phase."
So it should keep a value for the message - not for the whole session.
Seems to be a bug - isn't it?
Have anyone tried to check this in later versions of Exim?
