[Gllug] exim and antivir/mailgate

Hi folks,

today i got antivir for linux running quite nicely, it sits on port25 and scans
all incoming mail, and sends virus free stuff to exim running on port 825,

my problem is this,

mailgate (antivir) doesnt support smtp auth :-/, so i want to have exim get the
messages first, 

then ideally, before ANY delivery is attempted, do the following,

go thru the acl stuff as normal (auth/relay etc)
if ?scanned? header is not set, set a new header on the message
then send the message via smtp to port 825,
 (antivir can either send it back via port 25 or usual sendmail pipe if it was
ok)

else
do nornal delivery stuff,

any ideas how i might do this?

Ian
