There are many ways to integrate clamscan with Sendmail. Some of the more documented ones are AmavisD & clam-milter. If you use one of these interfaces, clamav, or AmavisD is called directly by Sendmail, so the message should not be able to be sent to the recipient without being scanned. In proof on my point, when I was setting it up, I had a permissions problem that would not allow the amavisd user to read the message from sendmail, and it did not send messages at all, it just queued them. If your mailserver gets backed up, it should queue messages until it gets caught up. If this is happening too often, you may need an upgrade for your server or another server. If you set up freshclam, your virus DB should stay up to date, within a two hour window.
