And more, it ensures that outgoing mail is scanned by a virus scanner. Otherwise, PC borne viruses can happily connect to external SMTP servers. This way the viruses get stopped, and logged, locally. Agreed on the choice issue - it should be configurable, but the default is "correct" when virus scanning is part of the mix.
