Yes, this is planned. In fact, I hoped to have it done by now and the
only reason it's not yet done is my lack of time. :-( There's also a
Postfix update for Owl contributed by Maxim Timofeyev that I might be
able to make use of.
You might want to have a look at Owl/doc/TODO which lists this and a
few other things that are planned.
Unfortunately, the project evolves rather slowly currently. It could
evolve much faster if it was paid work and I am considering ways to
make it so. One thought I had is to accept payments for the addition
of very particular features (and actually do that fast, instead of
other paid work), giving proper credit to whoever or whatever company
has funded their development. Of course, most work on Owl would still
be done in our spare time and without receiving any payment for it,
but there would be the alternative. What do you and others think of
this approach? We already accept donations, and, while they are of
even more help to the project, there's no direct benefit for the
person or company doing them.

I agree.
Michael Tokarev's avcheck isn't out of consideration for Owl, too,
although I'm not sure of how much use it would be if we don't also
package an anti-virus (which is hardly the right thing to do, for both
licensing and technical reasons... well, maybe in some commercial
build of Owl if such a thing is ever born).
