One useful function it can provide is that your scanning load stays roughly
constant, so if you're suffering a flood of mails, then they'll go onto the
queue, being processed by MailScanner at its configured rate. With exim
doing the scanning you are at the mercy of the incoming mail rate (modulo
connection and load limits).
Other people have mentioned the other advantages (the notifies, quarantining
and stripping of attachments).
