Default Old saw about e-mail: to scan or not to scan

I am well aware of the majority expert opinion here about e-mail scanning:
DON'T.

(And I have switched mine off as a consequence.)

Today I received notice of a webcast on hosted e-mail, which includes these
subjects:

QUOTE
Here are a few examples of what hosted email security provides you:

- One fixed price per user gives you unlimited email scanning capacity

- The solution is continuously tuned and updated by your security vendor

- Reduced overhead means lower costs for mail servers and network bandwidth.

The sender is PC Magazine (USA), thus a respectable source. The sponsor is
Trend Micro, so they have a vested interest...

Note the emphasis on "unlimited email scanning capacity."

Why would PC Mag waste its time? Or maybe somebody will suggest it is a
waste of time...
