Ah, you meant "multiple times"

Documented in the new sa-exim.conf in CVS

README now says:

INSTALL
-------
See the file named INSTALL for installations instructions (either compiled
in exim, or as a stand-alone shared library) and configuration of spamd

Mmmh, the thing is that sa-exim is pre-compiled with the headers that
it's going to read from SA, so it's currently hard to support any random
header that someone might make.
For now, sa-exim will keep requiring X-Spam-Report until further notice

This has been fixed in CVS too
