We use SurfControl for our Web Surfers, but didn't look at their Email Package. Since we had already been a user of Symantec's Anti-Virus for Exchange product, we continued with that trend and installed Symantec's new Anti-Virus Content Filtering for Exchange Product.
So far it does enough for us, as we are mostly interested in keeping out Viruses, but just recently we were told to stop any messages from leaving or coming in with the F word in it, and it's been doing it very well. I like both companies, as their Tech Support areas are knowledgable and get the problems solved, and while Symantec has a bit more to go before I think their product will be a "great" product, I would still recommend them. Of course, since I haven't used SurfControls Email filter, I can't speak for it specifically, but I can say their company has a good reputation with me, and they are known for quality products.

I have been looking at the SurfControl products. They are a little spendy, but if you are a large company, seems to be a product that is well worth the money. Our quote came to right around $60k for 1000 user licenses, support and contracts and the additional plug-ins I wanted. This was a 3-year licensing quote BTW. It does everything you want and more, as well as having the ability to process using a rule base; it's configurable and monitorable from a web interface; you can set levels of administration and assign them to people; it allows you to archive all incoming and outgoing e-mail to a central location; it allows you to add headers and footers to all e-mail and they have one plug-in called a Virtual Image Agent (VIA) that will take all attached graphics files and run them through an algorithm that will check to see how close it is to a pornographic image.
