Are you using a sendmail recent enough to have a clientmqueue directory? If
so, all outbound mail should be scanned. If not, then you will have to
reconfigure your mail software so that it sends mail by talking SMTP to
localhost and does not invoke the sendmail binary directly.

You can find out by sending yourself mail including the eicar test file,
available from www.eicar.org.
