Thanks for the heads-up.

Incidentally, it looks as though Exim has an undocumented feature (!!) in the
ClamAV scanning.

As well as using the SCAN command for unix-domain sockets, if you configure a
second option of "local" for network sockets, it tells Exim to assume common
storage (which, given Exim's spool ownership, had better mean "same machine")
and so again issues the SCAN command, instead of STREAM.

This would be a configuration of:

av_scanner = clamd:192.0.2.42 1234:local

Untested, but that's what the code appears to do.

This is more efficient (avoids sending the files around) so is a win, if this
configuration can work for you.

-Phil
