There was a patch a while ago that made the local_scan function dynamically
loadable. I'm not sure if it's since been included in the base source, but
the Debian package has it applied.

Beyond local_scan, where do you see a need for a plugin? Just about every
other aspect of Exim is so easily extensible, using some external resource
or program is trivial.

AFAICT, exim has a localscan function, but this is useful only for
statically
compiled-in functionality. It appears that exim lacks a dynamically loaded
plugin capability? Is this correct? Any good reason?
