[SA-exim] SA-Exim and Exiscan4 in Local Scan

[Jeff Clark]

Nick/Mark,

Thanks for the replies.  I've installed the newest exiscan which, as you
suggest, does work side-by-side with Sa-exim out of the box!  I'm still
testing it, but it looks like a very good solution.  One more thing though.
In my testing it seems that Exiscan is run on messages first, followed by
Sa-Exim.  Since the amount of spam my server receives is staggering, I'd
prefer to have sa-exim run first.  This way junk can be removed before
resources are wasted scanning it for viruses.  Is there a way to change
this?

Thanks again!

Jeff
