Exim users,
I'm embarking on a project to use Exim as part of an outbound scanning  
host for clients. I'm hung up on whether or not Exim is well suited  
for this task, or if we should look at another mail server.
The goal of this project is to have clients use us as their outbound  
relay/smarthost. Mail coming into our system from their IP  
range/domain name will have to stay on our system, delivering to local  
mailbox files and/or maildir folders.
A program will then come by later on, scan said mail for text  
qualities (not necessarily spam), and if the mail is good, will then  
complete the next stage of delivery to the recipient.
In essence, I want Exim to be a caching relay. Take in all mail for  
specified hosts, hold onto it for processing, and deliver when the  
processing is finished.
We likely won't be doing processing as messages come through, but  
rather using scheduled jobs to check mail via IMAP or equivalent, and  
then send off the e-mail.
I've used Exim for other unorthodox tasks, but this one presents  
larger challenges in my opinion, and just not sure if Exim is right  
for this specific task.
Has anyone used Exim in this fashion, or have any thoughts on this?

Thanks!
