Take a look at ASSP

http://www.asspsmtp.org/wiki/Welcome

I've been using it for 5 years - it catches over 99% of SPAM and viruses
before getting to my exchange server.

Right now our incoming mail spam percentage is over 50% and in the last
month it processed over 15K messages (8K were SPAM) while only allowing
14 SPAM messages through.

Best of all its open source Perl..

Hi guys

I am looking for something to act as an all in one gateway for my 
incoming/outgoing mails. Have been using a product for a combined 
AntiSpam/Antivirus but it's not performing well. Not a core AntiSpam 
company. is though good as catching viruses at the gateway level.

Someone suggests that we go for two different products and chain them 
together so incoming mails pass through AntiSpam and then another
Antivirus 
before they land in our Exchange server.

Any suggestions, on edge mail security design and products?
