Thanks. We use Sophos, but not in 'run-time' mode; as a daemon. There's less overhead that way, and you don't need a hook (such as Exiscan) to call 'sweep'. Sophos designed MailMonitor. It's a daemon that provides an API (through SAVI) to 'sweep' and the MTA (Exim, Postfix, Sendmail e.t.c.). All you need to do is install SAV (which you have already), and then install MailMonitor for SMTP (which you can get for a renewable [in my experience] 30 days off www.sophos.com), and you're good to go.
