Exim has no such built-in features. The best way to handle this would
probably to get it to deliver such messages to an external program that
handles this logic. Or get it to deliver them in BSMTP format into a
specific directory. Then you write another application that scans that
directory, and re-submits the messages to Exim for delivery when it
feels like it. This can use the same means as virus scanning to identify
messages that "have been checked". The messages that aren't re-sent are
then available for whatever you want to do with them.
