You need to clarify what you said somewhat. Firstly, do you intend to do
local scanning of viruses on the firewall? Do you intend to scan viruses
as they pass through the firewall? I suspect it's the latter.

There are some commercial products available that act as mail proxies
which enforce "content security" as mail passes through. If you want
information on that kind of thing email me off-list. Only downside is it
runs on NT. :\

I'm unaware of any products which perform virus-scanning of data as it
passes through the firewall (on FreeBSD). I think there is one for Solaris
and NT (Interscan VirusWall).
