Just out of interest, would it be viable to do things like run "traditional" file-based AV scanners on the IMC and MTA queues? Or would MIME (and any exchange internal formats) obscure things? Would there be file locking issues anyway?
As an aside, we currently use CA InoculateIT and have made sure that the background scanning (as per ms suggestion) is off. I think we tried fiddling the OpenRetryDelay value too, but to no effect.

But MAPI AV has some notable downsides. Or you can scan it before it hits the mailbox. Check out both Q269439 and Q264731 concerning tasks failing with a VAPI scanner. The two articles seem to point towards changing the values in 2 dif't directions (changing OpenRetryDelay to 250 or 5000 where the default is 500). Also check out Q263949 to give you a more thorough overview of VAPI and attachments.

After following the MSKB advice re. registry settings for tackling this, we're still having problems. FWIW, the problem persists after moving exchange to a new, more powerful system. TIA.
