I've never used Mailscanner. However I thought the recommended use
was to have two exim processes. The first runs in queue-only mode
accepting messages. Mailscanner picks up the messages from the
spool directory for this exim process, processes them, and then puts
them in the spool directory for a second exim process that performs
the actual delivery.
The above procedure is described in:
