I am one of the "some" -- false positives will drop into the black hole of nothingness.

Are you scanning on your MX host?  Or is this an internal host that doesn't talk directly to internet SMTP senders?

But this is a religious war with credible people on both sides so feel free to make whatever decision is best for your setup.

I, personally, reconfigured my mail topology to allow me to mailscan on my MX hosts and reject with a (mostly) clear conscience.
