[This is more an exim-dev topic]

If there was one agreed hashing mechanism (or probably one defined in
the config of a few selectable), then running a sha*/md* type hash
over the incoming body as it was received would not put much load
on a mail system (especially as mail systems are I/O limited in
almost every case).

Anything cleverer is obviously much harder.

Doing this at any other stage would cause rather more additional
I/O.
