I don't think the spam lines from the *ACL* are being run. Your ACL looks
OK to me.

This log line comes from the ACL

This log line refers to SAExim. From memory (which is always risky!)
SAExim was a version of Exim with a patch which (I think) hooks into
Exim's local_scan function to run SpamAssassin. It was written before exim
incorporated the 'spam' ACL condition and is no longer maintained.
So actually Exim's inbuilt spam checks are running according to the spam
ACL condition *and* SAExim is *also* running accoring to its own rules.
Therefore you may have been spam scanning some email twice.
What do you get if you run the command exim -bV ? Does it mention SAExim?
Running in debug mode will show what parts of the ACL are being run and
should also show SAExim being invoked (provided the patch supported
debug).
Anything beyond here is speculation as I have never used SAExim but..
The log line suggests there is a configuration line SAEximRunCond which
decides whether SAExim runs SpamAssassin. Maybe if you change that line to
something like SAEximRunCond = false it will never be run and you will
only be running SA via the builtin Exim function?
The better solution would be to look at your build process, find out where
it is including SAExim, exclude this and just use Exim's built in call to
SA, which is what you thought you were doing anyway.
