OK. But the conditions on the spam rule and the warn rule are not the
same, if I understood your message correctly. So it's conceivable for a
message to not match the spam rule, but match the warn rule.

You might want to add another warn rule that duplicates the conditions of
the spam rule exactly, and see whether it's triggered if this happens
again.

Is there anything in the Exim mainlog about a failure to contact spamd (or
the database, or anything else) at the time that the message skipped the
spam rule?

Cheers, Chris.
