For you reference, I set up an ISP with a dedicated AV box (ie, relay only, 
no local delivery).  FreeBSD 4.4, postfix, and avcheck chroot wrapper for 
Kaspersky FreeBSD Daemon for servers.

He's scanning about 150K msgs/day and catching 500 to 1000 infections, more 
during infection storms.  And the machine is 80%  to 90% idle.
