I'll also chime in and suggest spamassassin, I've used both this and Xwall and they are both excellent products.
I should stress that I haven't used its bayes functionallity, but Xwall is a very nice product for the money, in fact I still use it as a gateway between our LAN and our DMZ, but I stopped using it for spam filtering as I found keywords and RBLs to be a little too "black and white" (though to stress again, I've not really tried its bayes filtering). I currently use spamassassin, and I don't think I can over-emphasize just how good it is considering the cost. Granted it takes a little time to setup, but I'd suggest that once you've downloaded some ISOs (I used Redhat, mostly because it's one of the best supported/documented linuxes) it shouldn't take more than a few hours to setup a simply postfix install, then take a look at http://advosys.ca/papers/printable/postfix-filtering.html for a way of plugging spamassassin into things. Just give it a try, I also fall into the "don't know much about linux" category, but I found it simple enough to pick up the info I needed, and "because it's linux" there's a ton of free useful info on the web...
