Thanks for your input Andrew.
I now have my mailsystem setup with getmail and this requires the users
to have a getmailrc file that gets their email from the isp.

So they have the possibility to use/or not use the virus & spam checking.
However, i can enforce a systemwide virusscan via the /etc/maildroprc
file so that even when they would delete the virus filter in their
getmail setup, it's still done nonetheless.
