I did patch sa-exim to handle report_safe by rewriting exims spool file
(local_scan API includes an open FD to the body of the message) and
updating the global variable $body_linecount.
(this patch has been adopted in sa-exim since version 3.1)

Ugly or not, I've successfully used this the last 5 months or so...
