You can add headers in the RCPT ACL and use these headers in the DATA
ACL. For example, my mailer adds the country code from a GeoIP lookup,
which is later checked by SpamAssassin.

Use $acl_m variables to pass information from the MIME to the DATA
acl. For example, set a variable in the MIME ACL if there is a
macro-enabled attachment. In the DATA ACL use two deny verbs with
different spam score thresholds for messages with and without
potentially harmful attachments.
