The scanning is done at the end of the DATA phase while the sender is
waiting for the final acknowledgement.  The recommended timeout here
according to RFC 2821 is 10 minutes, so adding under a second of
content-scanning shouldn't be a problem.

The problem is that this phase is the one vulnerable to race conditions:  
If the connection breaks between accepting the message and getting the  
response through to the sender, a dupe will be created. So it's  
desireable to keep that period of time as short as possible.
