You have configured Exim to use SA on the DATA segment of an SMTP transaction. This is, as nick @ mobilia pointed out, a bad idea. Use things like Spamhaus and ORDB to reject at the SMTP layer, along with any other checks that careful research indicates will work for your environment. Use things like SpamAssassin to tag mail with a score after accepting the e-mail. Use things like procmail, maildrop, sieve or even Outlook/Thunderbird/mail_client_of_choice to use that score to decide whether to see the mail, bin it or put it somewhere for review. Never, ever bounce mail after accepting it for delivery. That'll earn you the ire of many mail admins the world over. And probably get you blacklisted.
