One option might be to look at MIMEDefang (I use it on some hosts and amavisd-new on others). It would allow you a daemonised scanner, but one that's designed to be hacked to suit your needs - mine is heavily modified from the base to behave differently if the sender is authenticated, differently again if the mail came from localhost, to strip HTML from certain mails, but not others and so on. What's nice is that I can add a lot of that to my own custom function to make upgrades easy. YMMV, but it's worth a look IMO. -- Please keep list traffic on the list.
