I did not work it out in that much detail. :-)

I suppose if I would do this I probably would want to just tag spam and 
remove the virus e-mail.
I assumed 10 emails just as a starting point as this was a theoretical 
discussion  in my head. at about 3 in the morning.

By the sounds of things I would never want to do this anyway as the 
numbers just scare me. I could not imagine running a system like this 
although I am sure MS could do this but it would scare me.

Thanks for the response though.

Lance
