Yes.

Of course, scanning takes CPU cycles. If this is noticeable, depends  
on the load of the system. Typically, outbound mail is only a small  
fraction of inbound messages here, so treating outbound messages the  
same as inbound (scanning for virusses and spam) doesn't take a  
noticeable extra amount of resources. But this may be different on  
your system. It is impossible to tell without looking at the traffic  
of your system. Why don't you just try it out?
