    We are using trend micro viruswall on the same server as our mail server. (as
    well as web proxy+av). The installation scripts are designed for sendmail and
    you should not face any issue (during the installation process, I mean). It does
    change the S88sendmail boot script in order to make trendmicro the first line
    MTA, trendmicro then calls sendmail. If your mail server is somewhat heavily
    used, a fasterter solution is to bind sendmail on an alternate port and tell
    trendmicro to forward mails to this port.

    The other solutions I've used are alladin and symantec ones. Unfortunatly, both
    are blue-screen based.

    The best solution depends on which anti-virus solution you choosed for you
    workstations. I personally prefer to have 2 diffrent brands in order to get a
    better protection.
