mmm ... i'm using it for years and never seen as virus pass through it.
Anyway i must say that we catch almost all viruses by recognizing helo

then the solution could be to do the virus scan at the transport ...
but i also remember that there was a recent topic talking about a way to
know at smtp time where each address will be routed (by setting
address_data) and then accepting only one recipient per message but
i do not remember is there was a practical solution, maybe you can find
the answer in the archives.
