I work for an ISP that receives over 2 million emails a day. I can
promise that I could give a rats ass about reading any customer
email...I can hardly keep up with reading my own.
As far as virus scanning, it is almost required for ISP's to do it now
as infected customers become a strain on network resources. Just image
10,000 customers spewing virus spam via your smtp gateways as fast as
they can handle it, and then having to deal with a couple of million
bounce messages.
