Dan, You're opening up a real potential for DoSing the firewall if you have an especially busy Exchange server that gets hit by some mass mailer worm. I would rather have a separate instance of clamav running on my postfix (or whatever MTA you choose to love) box.

Since clamav would need to be running for any kind of squid proxy to scan incoming pages, it could just as easily be available to someone running a mail server behind the pfsense. Currently, for example, I'm running postfix on a freebsd server, with clamav. If clamav were running on the pfense (for squid), I could point my MTA at the pfsense LAN IP and not run it on the mail server. Conversely, of course, if whatever squid redirector can use a network-enabled virus scanner, I could do it the other way around, and leverage my already running clamav on my Freebsd server.
