I don't think it is, although it might not be too hard to convert the
file I guess you're going to run into all sorts of issues (like how it
passes the message back when it has finished, etc.)  I guess you want
something which acts as a pass-through filter (on a per email basis)
rather than a batch processor like MailScanner.  If it helps Clam can
process mbox files I think (but I guess you know that as you hang around
the clam list).  Of course that doesn't give you all the other stuff
like filename filtering.
As for not altering the client settings if you run an internal only DNS
server you could simply hijack the domains.
