that really, really looks like spam, so it gets saved (for a little while)
in /var/spool/sa-exim/SApermreject/new. I can adjust the filters so that
sender's messages will pass in the future. Sometimes, it would be really
convenient to be able to get exim to re-try delivery of that saved message
after the filters have been adjusted. My search-fu seems to be weak today;
I have not found a description of how to do this yet. Any suggestions?
(exim4 4.96 running on Debian 12.4)

This is probably best explored in a Debian- or SpamAssassin-
specific forum, as Exim per.se. doesn't know home the message
was put in that directory nor in what format. You might be
ableto reverse-engineer that part from inspecting your logs
and your Exim configuration.

As far as I can tell this would be called RFC 5322 format. The file begins:

From long-messy-string@??? Thu Jan 1 00:00:01 1970

followed by message headers and the message body, ending with three
consecutive newlines.

FYI.
