Almost certainly by doing the SA checks with MailScanner, if the Exim patch
is either using spamd/spamc or the "spamassassin" script. MailScanner talks
directly to SA using its core Perl API.

It should pick up the /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.conf file. Put your
local rules and settings in there.
