I just tested this with 4.31.6, and am not seeing this behavior:

spam.whitelist.rules:
From:      10.4.                   yes

Virus report:

    Sender: dustin.baer at ihs.com
IP Address: 10.4.60.10
 Recipient: dustin.baer at ihs.com
   Subject: test
 MessageID: i6KF9Cev006614
    Report: Sophos: >>> Virus 'W32/Dumaru-A' found in file ./i6KF9Cev006614/dumaru-a
            MailScanner: No programs allowed (dumaru-a)

All messages are checked for viruses, unless they are determined to be
spam, and you don't forward spam onto /dev/null.
