define one transport that scans the email and reinjects it again in
exim for final delivery (as amavis and other programs do) Myabe you
could take a look a amavis: http://www.amavis.org/

is really a bad idea to send a bounce message for viruses, almost all
sender addresses are faked and you get the risk to be blacklisted by
other servers.

sorry, i mean routers not transports

that's what verify recipient does

try amavis
