We have implemented a solution that is keeping out a large percentage of
incoming malicious e-mail.

We are running MimeDefang + SpamAssassin + virus scan on our mail gateway.
Our mail gateway is actually 5 mailservers (V100s), set up in a
round-robin-dns
fashion, with the MX record for every host in our netblock with a DNS entry
and
port 25 open, pointing to this mail cluster.  The mail cluster is setup to
deliver direct if it is the "best MX" for a specified host.
