I recommend MimeDefang http://www.mimedefang.org/ as a wrapper to
control all your spam and virus scans.  It has built in hooks for
about everything you might want and is controlled by a snippet
of perl that you customize for your preferences.  It uses sendmail's
milter interface to run in realtime during the smtp converstation
but under a different user id.
