    This may not directly answer your question because I have never tried
    integrating Sendmail + ClamAV manually. I usually use MailScanner
    www.mailscanner.info/. Not sure if it will suit your purpose.

    clamav is definitely included in either base or extras repository.
    With plain FC4, you can do

    # yum install clamav

    Not sure whether MailScanner is in those repositories, but downloading
    and compiling the source is not that difficult.
