That would be a major re-write (to pass each message through a virus
checker as it is retrieved, before it is added to the mailbox).  Would
add a lot of overhead to the fetch.

Would solve the security issue though ;)

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
