Microsoft to kill popular Linux antivirus product (ComputerWorld)

What I mean is that the SMTP server is part of the the MTA. It's not just about spam/virii killing. What about the load incurd on my system? What about the paranoid design of qmail (which postfix tries to follow, rather well)?

BTW: amavis tries to use any possible scanner, including f-prot, and including clamav/openantiviros (actually there are a number of branches of amavis, and hence the "try").

Also, ease of installation is no excuse. I have seen linux distros integrate well components that were much more difficult to install (apache, anybody?).
