It's a while since this decision was made, so please forgive me if my memory is a little hazy or incomplete...
Our objective was to continue the behaviour that our previous Sendmail/MailScanner set-up provided, in terms of user experience. This meant that when a message was scored above the set SpamAsassin threshold:
- the original message would be sent to the recipient as an attachment
- the subject line would have a string such as "{Spam?}[Spam score 9.7]" prepended to the original subject text
- the spam scores would be itemised within the headers and in the body of the new "containing" message
I'm not completely sure about the last two, but I don't think the first can be readily achieved other than with exim-sa (which makes it very easy).

Richard
