Oh, they should: if virus found the message is trashed once for all with no need to repeat the scan for each ML user. Also, without ML scanning I should enable filter.out scanning to prevent a viral message to a local ML from being propagated to all non-local members. I agree that generally AV scanning should be the destination server's business, but i don't like viruses to spread and eat up bandwidth through a ML of mine ... If you feel like revising the filter logic, maybe adding a 'global' (SMTP?) filtering layer might be worthwhile, so that, e.g., a viral message is scanned and blocked only once, and a clean message is not scanned for viruses again and again. As per a previous thread ...
