Oh, I see.

The small problem here is that spamassassin doesn't have a way to write in
the exim logs or to talk to SA-Exim.
However, it wouldn't be too hard to have the SA module put out some mail
header saying X-Greylisted: No, null from and greylistnullfrom is 0
or some such.
That said, people aren't very likely to notice that either, so I'm not sure
what makes more sense between better documentation, or that.
