We ran Antigen for Exchange back in the Sybari days and later Forefront for Exchange. Liked the earlier versions of the product, but moved away from after MS bought them out, mostly do a horrible falloff in the quality of customer service. At the time, we were a small shop with 80 mailboxes on one server.
The biggest problem we had was on underpowered hardware. Twice we had Forefront begin quarantining all email, once during a RAID failure and once during an i-phone swamp. In both cases, the underpowered server got very slow and Forefront began timing out and quarantining all email. I was never really happy with the mechanism to forward quarantined email either. The emails would show up as forwarded from Forefront and that confused the end users. To be honest though, this might have been solvable, if I'd had more time to troubleshoot it. We're a lot happier with SpamTitan.
