I know it is possible to use RBLs and wordlist filtering with Exim but can't seem to find any examples. The closest thing I've found so far is http://www.sput.nl/software/exim.html which is more massive then I would hope for.

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

One really important thing to understand is that exim is a collection of routines that you, as the sysadmin, control and configure. You need to read the docs on how to scan using spamassassin inside the ACL's. Once you have read this and better understand what does and does not work (or just don't understand things), modify your question and ask about the parts that you do not understand.

If you are using Debian style configs, there is likely a simple config setting that you enable to have it use spamassassin to scan your emails. You've not given us enough details about what you have installed, how you have it configured, and what you're trying to do.
