Disagree. The virus scanner is a kind of MDA target. At least, I can return 
those messages correctly with AMaViS, so I presume something `industrial 
strength' such as used by not-stupid ISPs would have no problems either. Many 
server antivirus setups run the mail through the system twice, once for 
antivirus scanning alone, and once for real delivery.
