Yes... but two "buts".

One, don't do if you have users, which might dissable the AV checking.

Two, not all the AV do direct mail checking. SA first separates the parts 
of the emails, saving the attached files somewhere, and then calls the AV 
on those files. And can call several AV programs to check the same file 
(no AV detects all malware).

That's a bit of coding.
