Subject: [Exim] EXISCAN and SMTP reject / bounce
If a virus is found in a message, exiscan rejects this message with a SMTP error.

This behaviour is quite useful if exim deals with a remote mailserver. If a user sends a message to the SMTP server
with an e-mail client, depending on the client type the virus message is not displayed (only SMTP failure or
something).

Currently I'm using AMaVis in a system filter. In this case the server accepts every messages and send virus
notifications for messages containing a virus.

Can the local_scan implementation / EXISCAN configured to work in the same way?
