This was actually covered just a few days ago on this very list.

I'll try to outline what needs to be done:

Sendmail should be installed on your system.  There are plenty of good
sites for information on how to get this to work.  One point is:
http://www.sendmail.org/faq/section5.html#5.3.1.3

Go here and download MailScanner.  Follow the included instructions.
http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/downloads.shtml

Go here and download the ClamAV packages.  Not much else to do here.

Spamassassin should be installed on your system.  There are plenty of good
sites for information on how to get this to work.  Here is one:
