Yes.  The SendName registry entry allows you to do this (you can search the 
KB to find out more details on it).  However, you can only have it call a 
program you write, that is specifically designed to work with IMail (for 
example, it needs to handle file locking).

You could do this, but the AV program would have to be custom written to 
handle the file locking, passing the good E-mails on to IMail, handling the 
viruses somehow, etc.

That could be accomplished in the same way.

Note that if you only need to monitor a specific address, a program alias 
is an easier way to accomplish it (you don't have any behind-the-scenes 
work to take care of -- you can do whatever you want).
