sendmail and antivirus software

Hello Managers,

This is perharps not the good place to ask this question but I'm
confident with your knowledge.

I'm running sendmail 8.10.2 on a Tru64 Unix 5.1 computer.
I'm trying to put in place Interscan Viruswall software while keeping
the anti-spam and anti-relay features from sendmail.

So the trick is to keep sendmail listening on port 25 but replacing the
line
A=IPC $h in the Msmtp definition from sendmail.cf by
A=IPC something other_port_number where Interscan Viruswall is listening
on other_port_number.

My problem is to find what to put for "something". If I leave $h, I have
an invalid argument in mail.log.
If I put localhost, I get "Name server: localhost: host name lookup
failure" in mail.log.

Has someone done something similar ?

Thanks
