This is off topic here, the only reason I'm posting it is the periodic queries on blocking spam to lists. Please ask questions off-list and ask me to receive updates if you aren't reading exim-users@exim.org

The short version is that I integrated SpamAssassin inside exim so that you can reject spam before it ever hits your list (and let through messages that don't have a high enough score, so that you can moderate them by hand)
