Sure. However, what we do, and what I'd recommend instead: 1) The MX for listserv.vt.edu points at our virus scanners, which then forward the non-virus stuff to the real listserv machine. 2) The Listserv machine then does its own *outbound* mail handling. The justification? It's a lot less resource intensive to scan *one* copy on its way towards a list than it is to scan 34,918 copies outboud. ;) There's a few corner cases involving DISTribute jobs if you're part of the Listserv backbone, but you get the general idea...
