Nonsense. Mail is mail. If you are running a mailserver, it should be
able to cope with all types of mail, irrelevant of
(creation|submission)
method.
But...if they're using webmail, it bypasses your mail server. It would
entirely depend on how "up to date" the webmail company's scanner is
and the virus scanner on your user's desktop is...unless you're using a
web proxy with malware scanner.
My webmail is configured to use our standard smtp servers for all inbound/outbound mail. It really isn't all that difficult.
My understanding was that we were talking about people accessing Yahoo or Hotmail from work, not your own internal mail servers with a grafted webmail interface.
