Are we talking virus protection ?
You might want to look at something like amavisd-new or clamav in
SMTP proxy mode.
http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/
http://www.clamav.net/
Amavisd-new together with clamav and SpamAssassin will block a big
chunk aof spam and viruses.
Some vendors like Barracuda and IronPort do this as well, if you're
willing to pay.
Cheers,
Phil
