Here's a little help for ya. Keep in mind tho, I did this on a FreeBSD 
server however, you should beable to get a good picture.

Also noted - I used Amavisd. That tied in anti virus and SA.

In the master.cf file, there will be something like this you need to add

# amavis configuration
smtp-amavis unix -      -       n       -       2  smtp
     -o smtp_data_done_timeout=1200
     -o smtp_send_xforward_command=yes
     -o disable_dns_lookups=yes
127.0.0.1:10025 inet n  -       n       -       -  smtpd
     -o content_filter=


Then in main.cf -

# Amavis config
content_filter = smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024


This will give you a good start to running and configureing Postfix.
Let me know if you want to see my main.conf in it's whole.
