[Mimedefang] Why scan for viruses twice in the default filter?

I'm working on setting up logging to MySQL and
have the following questions about the default
filter:

1) Is there a reason why virus scanning is called
for in sub filter_begin() AND sub filter() ?

2) Why is the virus scanner called AFTER the
bad extension filter and spamassassin?  If you're
letting users connect to the site with a browser
and get their mail, shouldn't you not allow
collection of infected mail?
