Mailscanner + Exim >= 4.73

Hey Jasse

That sounds like a pretty straight forward description to test.

I will be upgrading my 2 mailscanners to squeeze within the next couple of weeks and will try to change to the new method you describe at the same time.

I'll be sure to report back if it works or not.

Also once a couple of us have their systems working this way, and its confirmed it works issue free, somebody should update the wiki.

Thanks so far for your insight :-)
