<div>Sure, you cannot do "on the fly rejections", but ... AV/Anti-UCE scanning is to expensive at that stage anyway (IMO)... apart from the simple things you can do in the MTA, that is (recipient verification, rfc strictness, graylisting etc).

<br>
We use exim as well, the reasoning was that since we use debian, and exim is default in dbian, it would be the most obvious choice. Also exim is extremely modular/expandable/customizable. While postfix might be possible to expand customize as well, my impression is that it's not as simple as exim.<br>
<br>
We've been using exim+mailscanner for 5+ years with great results.<br>
<br>
My only caveat to the setup, is that we can't do the scanning at smtp time like amavisd does.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>

Just for informational purposes - I'm not judging - I'd like to know why you've chosen Exim over Sendmail or Postfix, for example. If it's too "off topic" it's ok to answer off-list - y en español si te es más fácil :D<br>
