It is actually an SA config issue, though you can make Exim a player.


- You decide in SA's conf;

-- what format and detail you want in the way of a 'report'

-- what detail you want in SA's own logging.



- You decide in Exim's acl's etc ..

-- whether you want that SA report *at all*

-- would prefer to work only with the final score integer

-- or want to generate a custom summary header message of your own.


Personally, I prefer to keep 'report' to half a line, tell the rejection
message nada, put SA's spew in its own log, then 'go fetch' manually
based on timestamp and message ID... IF, and only IF .. I was forced to
do so.

I don't really see the point in telling a spammer what he should improve
on for better luck next time, nor pushing an end-users message-body
off-screen with huge headers they don't want or understand.

YMMV,
