You're looking for Mailscanner
http://freshmeat.net/projects/mailscanner/?topic_id=28%2C29%2C151

It requires a separate Anti-virus package that runs on Linux, but that
is just one license (as opposed to a bunch of individual licenses).

At least a few Triluggers have set it up and have it running.  Works
great and integrates with SpamAssassin.  Good Luck!
