The heaviest bit of scanning is the spamassassin stuff.
If you create a rule that says don't spam scan on internal emails going out you'll achieve the same thing, but still virus scan etc.
In MailScanner.conf..
Spam Checks = %rules-dir%/spam.rules
In spam.rules, something like..
From: 10.1.1.26 no
FromOrTo: default yes
Where 10.1.1.26 is the ip-address of the email server...
