On the small scale, I use a combination of grey-listing and SpamAssassin. Works quite well, actually, and would scale up quite a ways. Professionally, the best solution I've seen is the CipherTrust/Secure computing IronMail appliances. While there is a steep learning curve, especially if you're not familiar with how messaging actually works on the back end, the appliance works quite well once you've tuned it to your environment. It glues together several open source products with proprietary code and does it quite well. If you can't afford the price tag, don't waste your time with Symantec appliances. They're cheaper, but can't handle the volume of mail (we run a belt and suspenders setup, IronMail at perimeter and Symantec behind that...Symantec appliances outnumber our IronMails 3-1 and still can't keep up with the IronMail appliances). Like I said, Postfix, Greylisting, and SpamAssassin (as well as Clam AV and Amavisd_new), works quite well and scales quite well. Sincerely, Bryan S.
