Thanks for all of your help and suggestion! My linux server has
clamav
installed and it works well. However, some users still prefer their local
antivirus agent. Probably, that is the case and what I can do.

As said several times before in this thread: users don't have to fully
disable or even uninstall Norton Antivirus to be able to send mail using
OE over a TLS encrypted connection. Make them just to switch off
outbound mail virus testing.
Either you make them understand or they just will have a problem.
