Have a look through Chapter 43 in the Exim documentation, which relates to
content scanning during ACL time. I think this is the area you will want to
incorporate ctasd into an ACL, rather than in the transport driver.
Specifically, what you really want is for this to be triggered at the end of
the DATA portion of the SMTP session, before transport. Hopefully you can
figure out how to use ctasd in place of SpamAssassin here.
