I wanted to do the same thing. It is possible however took me a while to figure out and it isn't perfect. Basically what you need to do is make it so that the Endian firewall is transparent opening all interfaces in and out of the box. This can be done when setting up the interface configs for the firewall (like let all Green traffic go to all Red Interface without blocking and vice versa). Then you still need to setup the mail scanner and any other tool.

This is a popular function that I think should be made easier in future releases of Endian. Other well known UTM appliance companies make the transparent config easy with little work for the user because human error can sometimes mess things up unrepairably causing the system to be reloaded.
