You must be thinking of Windows.  I don't think UNIX gets sick  :P

Really, unless through a root exploit (or the trojan program somehow gets
run as root) there is nothing a virus can do to a UNIX system.  

There are AV scanners available for sendmail servers in ports, I don't run
sendmail so I can't comment on those but it may be more of what your looking
for.
