Can you scan the mail body with condition?

Yep, but you're probably not going to be happy with the overhead.
What we really need is for exim to dynamically load a local_scan.so

As for your  wish to do more serious modifications,  we probably need/want a

I think we should wait for Philip to come back, and discuss this with him.
