The point of the GPG sig check is to verify the authenticity of the source of the rules you're downloading.

Some common configurations of Exim are set up such that Exim does *NOT* use the message as provided by Spamassassin. It gives SA a *copy* of the message, then puts the SA headers from the copy into the main message. This has the effect of ignoring any SA-modified headers, like the subject. Notably,
