Thanks!  Now that I know what to look for, I can't believe I missed:

"The spam  condition will  return DEFER  if there  is any error
while running the message through SpamAssassin. If you want to
treat DEFER  as FAIL  (to pass  on to  the next  ACL statement
block), append '/defer_ok' to the right hand side of the  spam
condition, like this:

/* ---------------
deny message = This message was classified as SPAM
        spam = joe/defer_ok
---------------- */"

in http://duncanthrax.net/exiscan-acl/exiscan-acl-spec.txt!

Thanks again!
