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.
