Postfix is easy to set up, easy to maintain, relatively secure, and 
faaast.

I used the built in options in Postfix to dramatically cut down on 
spam.  I don't like to get any more aggressive than that.

RAV

RAV is not free software.  The trouble is virus research is expensive, 
and getting good virus signatures usually costs money.  Getting a 
freebie virus scanner is possible, but do you trust the signatures to 
be up to date?  RAV therefore costs some money, but it's not too 
ridiculous a price.  It's very very fast.  And newer versions also have 
anti-spam recipes that you can tweak.

I've set up this combination for customer sites and it works great.
