Has anybody here used AMaViS (http://amavis.org)? It's a mail pre-processor
that gets run by sendmail instead of procmail. I believe scanmails (AMaViS)
then calls procmail. Could there be a global procmail rule that would
forward all mail to the 'corporate mail server' for delivery to internal
users?

Point 3 is the problem point. I don't want to have to create accounts for
each user on the mailpreprocessor machine. According to their FAQ at
http://satan.oih.rwth-aachen.de/AMaViS/FAQ.txt, users do need to be created
for each user. Is there another alternative?
Yes. The next entry in the FAQ, which uses a mailertable.
I do not recommend *this version* of amavis. It is ridden with bugs,
and performs badly.
It is planned to release a bugfixed version (no timeframe), and switch
to perl after that. amavis-perl is currently being developed separately,
and is available from http://www.unixzone.com/virus/. Current version
is amavis-perl-6. The setup with sendmail *should* be the same as
described in the amavis FAQ, but I believe only qmail and postfix
have received any substantial testing yet.
