=> Trend did not provide help to code Trophie (they do no promote
any API contrary to Sophos).  
Trophie's author had to guess and do some kind of reverse engineering 
to devise it. He did some great work without any support.

=> The Milter Version (Trend Interscan VirusWall Sendmail Edition) has 
not been updated to version 3.8 and was only proposed to Solaris 
platforms. Trend does not really want to go Milter. Their strategy
is rather based on postfix now and they're pushing IMSS instead of
Interscan. IMSS comes with a vscan binary but in a different
path and needing a slightly different usage last time I checked
(vscan.sh script).
