sendmail is a common but not very good application to send mail (thus the name) so it has nothing to do with receiving mail. Of course it may be possible to have the same antivirus in "both directions"

Usin Thunderbird and Bayesian Plugin
Perhaps Spamassassin would have been overkill for my needs... but the virus scan would be great (not needed right?).
