+10 for the Barracuda. 90% of our SPAM is blocked by reputation services, and doesnt even get to the appliance so not using bandwidth.
Out the box it just works, and with a little tweaking you may never see SPAM again. The only time I personally see spam is when I decide to check the message logs and see whats happening. We run 28 domains on ours, filtering for our customers, and have per domain whitelisting, blacklisting and quarantine, as well as per use for a couple of clients. Cant recomend them highly enough.
