Edit the master.cf file and change the line beginning

	smtp inet

to

	10025 inet

(assuming you want port 10025).

My experience of virus-scanning proxies is that they are poor at the 
basic smtp.  So I prefer to use a content filter.  That way postfix 
handles both incoming and outgoing, passing them through the filter (an 
smtp process on the same or other host) for the virus-scanning.  I can 
provide details if you're interested.
