It would be necessary for reference reasons. I have all infected messages send to a special "virus" account on my e-mail server so I can later go back and read headers or what not to determine where it came from should I see a ton of the same virus. It's also handy to have a virus on file to send for test reasons to see how well other AV solutions works with a large variety of virus ready e-mails.
So I find the feature very useful and it has a good purpose for me. G.W.
