A desktop virus scanner would be too slow, esp if trying to scan the 
mail after it was in the mailboxes, it has to a purpose-built .dll 
scanner for SMTP traffic streams and mail gateways.

trendmicro.com, symantec.com, mcafee.com make, gficomms.com make 
special virus scanners for SMTP mail streams and gateways.  These can 
be installed on the Imail machine itself if you have powerful enough 
machine and a small traffic flow, or on a separate machine. All these 
products tend to be "expensive", up to $30K for trendmicro's 
unlimited version.

Imail also has a registry hack which allows other programs such a 
virus scanners to work on a queued msg file. You can find this 
described in the knowledge base.
