I can't tell you what runs SpamAssassin on 1.alexsrv41.com, this is for you
to know :)
I just know that SA-Exim isn't running, which is why I recommended that you
look at the SA-Exim and exim configs to see if it's actually turned on.
(maybe your exim isn't even loading the sa-exim module)
Until you see some 'SA:' headers in /var/log/exim/mainlog (or wherever),
SA-Exim isn't being run
