The best solution for you in this case is to use a firewall which supports
CVP (Content Vectoring Protocol).
In this case it'll probably be Checkpoint FW-1, which has CVP configured to
send SMTP traffic to some anti-virus server which supports CVP (ie. Trend
Micro or Kaspersky). This works completely transparent to end user, however
I think that this combination will check only SMTP, HTTP and FTP - leaving
POP3 or IMAP not checked!
