What are the advantages and disadvantages of having this checked under SMTP Antivirus?

We seem to have gotten quite a bit of trojan's through email as of this past week.

    I have never seen a false positive on smtp scanning.  If there is something with malware in or attached to it the e-mail is simply rejected your network never sees it..[[:)]]  If you have the ram use dual scanning as well..[[:)]]
