Folks.

I've had a hardware failure which has broken my place of employment's
blue-box spam/virus filter for mail.

Currently, I've by-passed it, but this is obviously not an acceptable solution.

The support organisation for the blue-box device wants circa $3k to
repair it - something I'm not willing to pay

I have the hardware to build a perfectly adequate Linux box which
would do the job.

What I'm looking for is the best/quickest way to build a box which
runs a mail server {postfix}, spam filter {spam assassin} and virus
checker {clamav?} on incoming email - blocks relaying except from
authorised nodes, and forwards incoming emails to the end mail server
once they've been scanned.

It'd be nice if I could configure it to do RBL lookups on incoming
connections as well.

I'm looking for suggestions as to the best/quickest way to do this.
Yes, I'll even install it on Debian if I have to {shut up, David!} :-)

Suggestions? Is there someone out there who does a distro which is
designed to do just this without mucking around? Or do I need to roll
my own?
