The first question is:  Do you have budget to buy a professional
solution, or does this need to be a nearly free solution?

If you answered "yes" to the former, then go hunting for commercial
products.  There are quite a few out there which filter spam and virii 
(and quite a bit of other stuff) at the gateway.

If it needs to be very low cost, then you want to build a BSD box (or
Linux if you must) with a safe MTA (such as Postfix, Exim, or qmail) and
load free solutions, such as Spam Assassin, etc.  There are a couple of
free anti-virus scanners too, but I don't have experience with them.
