No, but we are just about to release a new version that includes E-mail notifications
(to the sender, recipient, and/or a third party). We are running it on our mail
server now.

That depends on a number of factors, such as the type of server, the AV scanner used,
and amount of E-mail that you send/receive. If you are a small-to-midsize operation,
you shouldn't have any problem. If you are at or approaching 100,000 E-mails/day,
then IMGate would probably be a better choice right now.
However, we are working on ways to improve performance. For example, we are working
on code that will allow mailing list messages to be scanned just once (not even the
$10,000+ packages seem to do this), rather than hundreds of times. We are also
looking into using Sophos' SAVI .DLL, which would prevent the forking.
