[SA-exim] SA-exim suddenly started ignoring "X-Spam-Status: Yes"

Quoting Rick Moen (rick at linuxmafia.com):

The permissions on /var/spool/sa-exim are wrong, if you ask me. They
indeed should have been Debian-exim:Debian-exim. But this should not be
the show-stopper for spam detection, afaik.

Logfiles.

Increase the verbosity level of certain tools involved, spamd, sa-exim,
and check what they all return. Furthermore, you are running an older
version of the sa-exim package. Version 4.0-x already has been released.

I'd need more input like logfiles before I can say what could be wrong.

HTH,
Sander.
