You're probarly getting the mail with fetchmail with the same user as
you're reading the email... You could try to get the email as another user
(purely for fetchmail) and let procmail send it to you; the emails will
go through exim and should be scanned then...

I hope this is a good way of solving this problem, because i'm new to the
mailscanner-program. (But i'm sure someone will correct me if i'm
wrong...)
