I have been requested to implement virus scanning on all incomming email 
for one department at a local college.

My thought was to use qmail, qmail-scanner and sophie on a local 
workgroup mail server. Normally I setup a  qmail, qmail-scanner, sophie, 
and spamassassin package for my clients so I am not a complete stranger 
to qmail,etc. Not a guru by any means, but ...

Since, in this case, I can not change anything related to DNS, I thought 
of having getmail grab the messages off of the main college server and 
feed them into qmail. I would need to change the users email programs to 
point their pop3 settings to this machine. My concern is where in the 
chain of events does getmail inject the message into qmail? or does it 
place it directly into the users Maildir? If this is the case, then my 
whole idea will fail since it won't get scanned by Sophos.

Anyone have some docs, how-to's for this type of thing? The outbound 
messages can still go out through the college smtp server. I'm not 
concerned with that as much. The dean has asked that I trap the viruses 
on the server to reduce the chance of a user triggering them on their 
desktop.
