How does AVAFTERJM help? Unless you had JunkMail delete the message it
would seem that it has to be scanned for viruses either way.
This is more appropriate on the Declude list - but with that said you are
correct in order for it to make a major impact you need to have actions that
either hold, delete, or bounce for this to make a huge difference.
I don't know which uses more processor time... Virus or SPAM scanning. If
you use a bunch of tests it probably takes more horsepower to scan for
SPAM than viruses. If that's the case then it would see like you would
want to virus scan FIRST. Any message deleted by the virus scanner don't
need to be scanned for SPAM.
Couple of things to keep in mind. One such thing is virus scanner - if you
use Mcafee it is VERY resource intensive so this helps alot. The other
thing which complements the first point is that most normal servers have
approx 95%+ spam volume and if you don't have to virus scan 95% of mail than
it saves a lot of resources.
