Fair enough.
Let me ask: now all sa-exim users are pretty much unable to uprade past exim
4.30, and with the remote exploit in check_headers, that's not really a
great thing.
Until the former behavior of exim get introduced, could you, with minimal
effort point me to a patch that would revert exim to its original behavior
and could be applied to 4.33?
(i.e. sa-exim in local_scan is impacted enough that it's questionable to use
it with the new behavior since it can now junk non spam mail as a result,
and that's usually not acceptable for people :)

Thanks
Marc
