You may want to excempt mail coming from 127.0.0.1 from virus scanning.
As long as the server itself isn't capable of generating viruses, then
if incoming messages are clean then outgoing messages will also be clean.

You can do this very simply with a 2-line ruleset applied to "Virus
Scanning" and "Dangerous Content Checking" (or whatever I called it) and
probably "Spam Checks" as well. The ruleset just needs to say
From: 127.0.0.1 no
FromOrTo: default yes

Otherwise many people have done this, so others can probably give more
advice if you need it.
