The advantages are:

   - no reinjection -> working alot faster
      (eliminating main bottleneck of creating/removing qfiles)

   - no extra Received: headers

   - logs looks as should be, finally.

Disadvantages:

   - no way to modify message content in any way, i.e. can't add
     e.g. X-Av-Checked: headers/disclaimers (this is done in a
     real filter, not in inspector)

BTW, Ralf, did you missed the whole bunch of discussions (attempts
to) on postfix-users about this?
