Then, what is 'mail'?

What kind of problem exactly?  A spamassassin timeout?  I think that
most of the people will have their MailScanner send scanned mail
directly to the destination server (the exchange in your case).  You
should give a priority to fix your timeouts first.  Please give us more
details on the timeouts so that we can help you with that.  Once your
timeout issues are solved, you'll be able to deliver directly from
destiny to your exchange.
