Sequence VIrus/SPAM

[Chris Trudeau]

I know this discussion has been had in the past.  I have been somewhat out
of the loop relative to the message list, but my searches are finding
nothing.

When Sobig came out, the thread indicated that the cost (resources) to virus
scan every message was too costly, when SPAM scanning could eliminate a good
portion of these before even requiring the Virus Scan.

Was this design issue ever re-visited?  I'm just curious because with users
that have a store rule with no deliver action are being required to review
their SPAM quarantine within MailWatch, release it just to find it
quarantined due to virus infection.
