Sendmail has a mail filter interface. Have a look at MIMEDefang, which uses this interface to remove dangerous attachments. MIMEDefang will also run SpamAssassin and a variety of virus scanners (including Clam Antivirus if you want to stay with just free software). Because MIMEDefang is a mail filter, the usual local delivery mechanism is used -- handy as users don't need to change procmail rules and sysadms don't need to stuff about with adding rules to the delivery chain into IMAP databases.
