Ah yes, it only works when the outcome of the statement is "deny".
That is a bit unfortunate, anyone else know a way around it?

This is not possible with exiscan, since it does not write to exims
spool files, only reads them. Disinfection is mostly useless today.
Almost all malware traffic is worms who do not carry meaningful
attachments. And I would not touch an attachment from an infected user
with a 10ft pole even if it says "disinfected" ...
