This means that:
1) your SA setup flags messages as spam if the score is 5.
   You can change that in local.cf (/etc/mail/spamassassin or something like
   that)
2) The  mail was  scored with  7.5, but  SA-Exim was  configured to  pass on
   messages with  that score  because it's not  certain that  it's spam. You
   can  change the  threshold  in  /etc/mail/spamassassin.conf (although,  I
   wouldn't, I  don't think it's very  safe to bounce mail  with a threshold
   lower than 10 or 12)
