We currently use postfix, amavisd, spam assassin & two AV packages.

This worked reasonably well until two years ago when the labour of keeping it effective began to bite us.  Since then

We looked at Postini, Borderware and Ironport.  Ironport won because it was flexible enough to cope with our 
multi-domain setup.
