Can you assume that internal emails will be virus free? We are a
small college (<2000 users),so the overhead of virus checking all
the email it not too taxing. The cost and embarrassment of a virus
being spread internally via our own email system would be too
great.

We do have Sophos on most Pcs with the rest have f-prot but we
are changing those to Sophos asap so that reduces the risk even
further but I would be very reluctant to stop the scanning of internal
mail even if it relieved the load on MailScanner.
