Jacco,
what do you mean by "defer"? If message rejection with temporary
error, it seems ridiculous. Messages should be processed immediately
on arrival.
You have better to look for another processing scheme, without any
deferral for scanning. Just call mailscanner utility from your
custom transport.

Because non-error situation is "mail accepted", others are errors.
