Ted, you are completely right - $Spam_Score_Int keeps it's value at most 
during the same SMTP session (checked for Exim 4.63). 

Exim's Manual says about this variable: "This variable is special; its 
value is
saved with the message, and written to Exim’s spool file. This means that 
it can be used during
the *whole life of the message* on your Exim system, in particular, in 
routers or transports during
the later delivery phase."

So it should keep a value for the message - not for the whole session. 
Seems to be a bug - isn't it? 

Have anyone tried to check this in later versions of Exim?

Wbr,

Vitas.
