One of my colleagues has just done a trial of GFI here and I was appalled by the high numbers of false positives. It seems a very primitive product compared to my favourite, MailScanner (http://www.mailscanner.info) which we run on a Linux box here. I personally find spamassassin to be much more flexible and far superior to the commercial offerings. Add in Bitdefender Linux edition (free) and ClamAV (free) and you'll catch more viruses sooner than most commercial offerings.
Support for MailScanner is second to none on the MailScanner mailing list too. And I really mean that, it's the best product support I have ever seen.
