Ah, that *I* didn't see, that there's a fragment of the header to be
added. Hm. The 's-' is part of the primary hostname?

Ok, the spool wire format is off, you said. I'm not sure about the
mechanigs of sa_exim, that is, I do not have any clue *which* file it
sees and modifies. And/or if we built some optimisations which assume
that the spooled files (spooled in $spooldir/scan) are not altered.
For better theories about what's going on we need to know which files
sa_exim accesses.
If this is important and worth to be solved,, it would need some further
investigation.
@Jeremy: Maybe we should announce that sa_exim will have
some end-of-life in the near future?

You can try to use something like
swaks --data ./saved-message -f … -t … --pipe 'exim -bh 1.1.1.1'
I'm not sure, if exim stops processing right before or right after the
local_scan() call.
As you do not want to test the ACL, exim -N could be your friend.

I do greylisting based on the announced content size. But your approach
might be good too.
I wrote some Perl function(s) to support greylisting in Exim, these
functions work reliable for years already. Tell me, if you're
interested, I"d update the docs and the scripts a bit and publish it.
(To be true, it is published already, but the docs are outdated.)
