There are two ways to call SA from exim - in the smtp_data ACL using the 
"spam" condition (exiscan has been included in the exim source since 
4.50 IIRC), or by using the sa-exim local scan patch. This may be a 
long shot, but do you have an sa-exim.so file somewhere pointed to by 
"local_scan_path" in your main exim configuration?

Does running "exim -bV" give any clues?
