It might be best to find a scanning system that checks at the smtp level,

That's not standard practice. Most sites not only scan as mail comes in
via SMTP, but they also scan *nightly* the end mailstores to pick up
viruses missed at the SMTP level (e.g. Day-Zero viruses)
Just because a message got delivered doesn't mean it doesn't have a virus...
Then use maildirs rather than mbox format. It eliminates the problem
you are having. And hey, it might even give your machine a performance
boost..
