Well, that's exactly when piping the message into "exim -bS -oMr xxx" does-
reinject the same into exim, marking it as scanned in a way that can't be
reproduced over SMTP.

It shouldn't cause your machine to barf. Hmm. I pipe the output to a script
to handle everything-- I guess you could take this same approach, to
minimise load- i.e. the script could read the message and clsoe its input ,
causing the original exim to exit, then spamc and restart exim all as
separate steps rather than just piping everything together. Although I'd be
worried about the effects of a failure during scanning.
