For inbound mail (which is probably the main thing you need to consider if
the box only does Majordomo), just change the MX records to point to your
server that does virus scanning, then use a "manualroute" router on that
machine to redirect mail for given addresses to the Majordomo machine.

For example, if your Majordomo machine has the IP 192.168.0.1 and handles
the domain "example.com", then put this router on your frontend (scanning)
machine:

majordomo_domains:
driver = manualroute
domains = example.com
route_data = 192.168.0.1
transport = remote_smtp
no_more
