If your acls accept emails , make a log header entry for it in the
email, s you can see which accept caused it.

i.e.

# Bypass SpamAssassin checks if the message is too large.

  accept  condition  = ${if >={$message_size}{90000000} {1}}
           add_header = X-Spam-Note: SpamAssassin bypassed due to
message size


90.000.000 isn't what you wanne use, use something smaller.
