sa-exim doesn't really *delete* spam - it rejects it (you should never delete 
or discard mail - you might lose wanted mail). But the default permanent 
rejection threshold is 12 points. You can change this 
in /etc/exim4/sa-exim.conf (the setting is called SApermreject). The 
rationale is that there can be false positives, and therefore only "sure" 
spam is rejected, while anything between the threshold set in the 
SpamAssassin configuration and the SApermreject threshold is let through for 
manual review (but flagged as spam).

If your bayes database is well trained you can probably lower the rejection 
threshold to around 7-8 - that's what I do. Plus I greylist everything 
between about 2.0 and that threshold.

If you need more help with SA-Exim, please subscribe to the mailing list at
