Spamblocker & Virusscanner 'on the fly'

I have the following setup:

Domainhoster with Emailserver (IMAP, POP, SMTP),
ADSL-connection, private LAN with IPCop as Firewall and two
Debian-Desktops, a Win2K-Desktop and two Notebooks (wired & wireless
network). All users in the LAN retrieve their email from the domainhoster.

What I would like is a virusscanner (F-Prot, clamav?) and spamblocker
(spamasassin?) for all incoming emails into the LAN, but without a local
mailserver. So all emails should pass the scanner and blocker before they
enter the LAN, but should not be stored locally on a server.

Any ideas how to do that?

Would you mind explaining why you want no MTA? There are lots of
virus scanner for Linux if you have one or another M$ box behind
and SA works like a charm. Dunno how this should work without a
MTA, but never cared about it, a *nix box runs a MTA per default.
Restrict it to listen to localhost only if you are curious.

Good. Install it on the "Domainhoster" then. There is were the e-mail
is processed and there is where the virus/spam have to be scanned.
