I think it is. 

I think this is *exactly* the place to debate such things. Where else should
such thing be discussed?

That is the only real positive argument I have ever seen for this. It is
ever-so-slightly more resource efficient. However, as I know that only 2% of
our e-mail is viruses (owch - I just looked that up - that's a lot higher
than I thought!), the "extra resource" required really is tiny. I
realise that's very site-dependent... The reality is all of our queues are
stuffed full of bounced SPAM - not virus alerts...
