Could be, but whether it can keep up or becomes a choke points
depends on how many messages and megabytes of traffic you have per
day to be scanned, incoming + outgoing.
Hint: if you do a big volume of list traffic, then you need to get
clever about mail routing. You don't really want the list server
sending one identical, virus-free message 25,000 times throught the
a-v scanner. The trick is to send the list-destined msg to the a-v
scanner, the a-v scanner sends the msg to the list server who never
sends its output to the a-v scanner, but directly to the
recipients. hmm... probably need a dedicated list server for that.
