I don't know quite how high a performance you need.   If it's just email =
spam/viruses you are concerned with, you can run MailScanner for free, =
see http://www.mailscanner.info.    It's been around for 10 years now =
and used by a lot of big organisations, many of which are listed on the =
web site.    Written by a colleague here at University of Southampton, =
hence the plug.   If you install and run it yourself, there's a good =
community mail list for support and tips.

If you want a commercial version then Fort Systems (http://www.fsl.com) =
can do that, and they also have a companion product BarricadeMX that's a =
pretty decent pre-filter system.
