I was wondering that in my setup, exiscan wouldn't even be worthwile using.
Isn't fetchmail going to get the full message before sending it over to
exim? If that is the case, exiscan will not do what i want it to do.
If this is the case, i'll have to look into another way of trying to
delete spam and virus messages on my mailbox.
