I use Sophos MailMonitor at my client networks: Why: a) It plugs into your mail system as another SMTP server. This means that unlike Amavis-type solutions, there's a very clear delineation of responsibility between the vendor and the admistrator. If I can nc to a port where the MailMonitor server listens and it doesn't respond, I can call the vendor and blame them.
b) They have good support folk. You can call a number in Australia and speak to someone who knows Unix nearly immediately. c) Future releases will have a cute web based GUI to keep clients happy. I'd like to present a live tutorial on this exact topic (using Postfix and Sophos MailMonitor) for the next Slug meeting if its possible (there seems to be a space available). However the Slug committee haven't responded to my email.
