I had a similar problem with my virus checker (I laid the blame on
the perl library sending the bounce messages) under exim 3.
With exim 4 I have avoided the problem by using exiscan and the
exim's local_scan. This way I exim rejects the message, there are no
bounces, and I pass the buck to the sending machine.
