Try to use the mailing list, some people there can almost help you
better than I can :-)

Well, it's very unlikely that exim has anything to do with it,
especially if you've confirmed that sa-exim works correctly.
exchange can remove headers it doesn't like AFAIK

outlook talks to exchange via a special protocol IIRC, so exchange
*could* give you a different view of the same mail via pop

If you see the mails with the headers coming out of sa-exim when you
read the mail locally (from spool, or from
/var/spool/exim/SAspamaccept), the only thing that could happen in exim
is headers_remove in your smtp transport or something.
