The joys of a modular MTA and using MailScanner that happens to interface
at the 'wrong' stage (If there ever would be a right one).

Well as far as I have read, you just set up a filter to pipe the mail
through a script that does the splitting then pipes the result back to
Postfix using sendmail. Not pretty. :-(

Better may be to use this
http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/postfix/2002-10/1490.html as a
better solution (Although still not pretty). None of the options just put
mail in the hold queue they all involve passing it through smtpd twice.
The other option is to tell me what it's like to manage an Exim box ;-)
