Pete,

We don't have problems with our internal email network but we have 
nonetheless scanned all internal and outgoing mail for many years 
because we want to be part of the solution, not the problem.

Once in a while a PC gets infected and sends loads of spam and malware. 
It it were to send directly to other internal users I think it could get 
ugly real fast...
