I think you need to stop placing these special rules directly in the Exim
configuration, and instead use a filtering system.

For instance, you can create spam filters with SpamAssassin (
https://github.com/Exim/exim/wiki/SpamAssassin), or you could use Sieve
filtering (
https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/filter_ch-sieve_filter_files.html
).

I expect that both of these will be easier to relate to, and you don't have
to reload the Exim configuration (and maybe break all of your email config).

SpamAssassin can also test its own config to see if it validates, before
you restart spamd (or similarly reload the config).
