The trouble here is that you land up subtracting a constant from the total score, regardless of the rules that triggered. If a submitted mail is clasified as spam, but doesn't hit the RBL rules, it will compensate for the RBL rules score anyway and perhaps pass the mail. It turns out that I misread the SpamAssassin documentation and I can in fact modify system rule scores from a user prefs file. (I've been spoilt by the quality of exim's documentation.) So all I neede to do was to setup a virtual config directory for SA with appropriate scores in a user_prefs file and make the spam condition use a different user for authenticate mail. I still think the expanded spamd_servers option is worthwhile and my boss thinks the current solution is a stop-gap so I might have some time to do that anyway.
