Figure Out Exim Filters With Spamassassin

I've been fighting with a cpanel VPN for a few days now. I'm trying to figure out how to implement a filter for stopping spam over a point count of say 10 from being sent to our central spam box.

I've tried several different settings in the .filter file, but am having no luck.

here is what is in the .filter now.

Code:
$message_headers contains "X-Spam-Level: **********"+++++++/dev/null
$h_X-Spam-Status: begins "Yes"+++++++spam@example.com
This is what I had tried, with no luck

Code:

# Exim filter

logfile /home/USER/filter.log

logwrite "Logging"

if error_message then finish endif

if $h_X-Spam-Level: contains "**********"
then
Discard
logwrite "discarded"
seen finish #delete them!
endif

if $h_X-Spam-Status: begins "Yes"
then
deliver spam@example.com
logwrite "sending to spam"
seen finish
endif
The log didn't work (I touched the file and chowned/chmoded it.. no luck), and all the mail kept getting through to the spam box.. some with scores of 20+.

It should be filtering the spam with a higher level (10 or up) and tossing them away, allowing the 5-10 point mails to go through to the spam box.

So far everything is going through. If you need more logs to see what is happening, I'll be happy to get them up.
