Exactly. However, in our case we allow each user to set their own 'spam
limits'. In that respect the message must be scanned according to the users
own preferences - per recipient rather than per message. Having said that,
since most users will probably use the system-wide defaults, then the
message will indeed pass through local_scan for one spam scan for most
users, and only those with non-default config files will have something else
happen - very vague at the moment! At present we are doing per-recipient
processing and yes it can be intensive :-)
If I can upgrade the mailhubs to exim4 this week then I can use local_scan -
so far we only have one central mailhub on exim4 :-)
