amavisd (as opposed to amavis) might help with the scaling issue (use with
milter).
If you want something that doesn't need amavisd's help, H+BEDV's
avmailgate (http://www.hbedv.com/produkte/email/lnx_mailgate.htm)
might work. Kaspersky (http://www.kaspersky.com/products.html) also
has a FreeBSD-native email scanner. I have no data on how either of
these holds up to heavy email traffic; reports indicate that Kaspersky's
does a more thorough job.
