I take exception to this ... I run >150 seperate mail servers, each
configured either with/without anti-spam/virus software on it, and spend
*maybe* an hour a month worrying about it.  Anti-virus signatures are all
auto-updated (in my case, 4 times a day), and anti-spam software doesn't
change that often ...
