The setup i use is where the MTA recieves the mail, stores it in a queue,
and then does nothing else.
Then a virus scanner notices that mail has arrived, scans it (possibly
unpacking mime, uuencode, tnef, zip files, tar files, ...) and then tells
the MTA that is is allowed to start delivering THIS piece of email, by
sending the right switches.
