With the current technologies available there is no reason a small-medium organisation cannot virus and spam scan mail inline at the SMTP transaction stage. (Even the barracuda's can spamassassin scan at around 8 messages per second - my previous employment were receiving around 4 messages per second - which translated to 1-2 million emails per day) It is possible to do inline scanning in larger ISPs (I personally have configured a 'system' to handle upto 90 message per second inline scanning) - though it requires a lot more planning, thought, and careful consideration.
