I don't know what flow the Deb config for Exim sets up, but I'd guess
messages are received first by exim, passed to SA, and resubmitted to
exim using a commandline-submission specifying a "protocol" called
"spam-scanned". If so you'll see a previous Received: header for
the initial reception (probably just underneath that one, textually;
check the timestamp in them).

If so: it's up to the configuration of SA. There's likely a max size
of message it wants to scan, as scanning is expensive. I don't know
if there's a knob you can twiddle or not, but that that's the place to
look.

Naturally. Exim is infinitely flexible. You may well end up reading
quite a lot of docs to work out how, mind...

(hints: data ACL, the ${perl } string-expansion, the $message_exim_id
and $spool_directory variables)
