Connect with your server using SSH, give the command:

exim -bP acl_smtp_data

In your case it must say:

acl_smtp_data = check_message

If it says something else then it's the reason why this in your config
didn't work:

#!!# ACL that is used after the DATA command
check_message:
    deny senders = /etc/exim4/blockeddoms

    discard message = "Loteria in message body"
        !senders   = :
        condition  = ${if match{${lc:$message_body}}{loteria|lottery}{yes}{no}}

An afterthought: better with \b instead of \s

Sometimes your rules will make mistakes (called "false positives")
considering an honest message as a spam. If spam is rejected then
the human sender knows about that and sees what you wrote in "message".

"deny" in RCPT causes less traffic (message body isn't transmitted).
"deny" in DATA or MIME - no difference in traffic,
only what you wrote in "message" is transmitted.

"deny" in ACL doesn't cause your Exim to send a separate letter
called a "bounce". Your Exim refuses to accept the message.
The sending server may create a bounce, but it's helpful in case of
a false positive.

Is the "waste bin" a folder you look at once a day or so?
My Exim either accepts a message into Inbox or rejects what it considers spam,
with few exceptions (I seldom use "discard"). I don't use SpamAssassin,
my VPS with Exim (and a web-server) has only 64M RAM.

You can set an "acl_m_" variable and check it in that router.

Currently it checks only what is mentioned in WINBIN and COMPREXT.

Good idea (about Office files). Perhaps I can replicate this
in Exim without SpamAssassin if you send me your code or a link to it.
