Then I think it is much more reasonable to let SpamAssassin or some other good spam scanner have a look at it, then reject in the SMTP dialogue based on not only a single characteristic. SA will also give hammy scores, so even if there is one spammy thing about the message, a few hammy things can let it pass through nevertheless. It is straightforward to set this up using the Exim4 backports and SA.
