I don't know about the current state of Amavis, but when I gave it a try
last year, it had two major flaws:
1. It was scanning every mail once per recipient, causing a
lot of overhead.
2. It was re-sending mail. This causes all kinds of funky problems, since
the original SMTP MAIL TO: is discarted and addresses in the header get
re-evaluated. In many configuration (especially when you use exim as a
smarthost machine) this can cause mail to be delivered twice to some
recipients.
Exiscan does not require transports or directors. It is completely
transparent to exim.
Some people call it a hack. Some call it clever.
Most call it a clever hack. :)
