This was unclear by your original post.  You never mentioned anything 
about transparent interception of mail traffic to various SMTP servers, 
you only asked about creating an AV gateway.  I'm not aware of any 
open-source transparent AV proxies, although I've seen a few 
transparent spam proxies.

Good luck, I'd be interested to see what you find.
