I got a report that Exim 4.32 was modified to not send the last received
line to local_scan.
I have no idea why and it really sucks as far as plugins are concerned.

I'm behind on Email, so I haven't had the time to find out why yet, or
study workarounds, but as far as I'm concerned right now, it's an exim flaw
(not a bug, since it's apparently intentional, although I fail to see
why), and I'm really not certain how sa-exim can work around it without
patching exim to revert this change.

I'll try to research this further when I can.
