Definitely follow Rob's advice. If he hadn't changed the subject I
would never have seen your question.

Read http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/config_docs/exim3_spamassassin.html
and modify accordingly. exim's filter language is used merely for
scheduling a delivery. It does not allow you to run a command, while
the filter is being processed, and decide how to deliver based on the
result of the command. procmail and maildrop will allow you to do
that. The config described above causes exim to deliver the message
to the external program, which tags the message with a new header, and
then reinjects it (as a new message) so that exim will deliver it as
usual. The second time exim processes the message your filter has
access to the tag(s).
