Thanks guys. I am leaning hard toward Symantecs 8200 Brightmail appliance or getting there software and thowing it on a windows box. Gartner even rated Brightmail as the best in class with cyperhtrust, iron port, message labs and postini as runner ups for comerical solutions.
I would love to run a FOSS solution myself byt I run to many sytems to dedicate tons of time to that type of sytem. If I ever have time maybe I will build a system at home just for the heck of it.... but then again maybe not. As it is I work with computer way to much all ready as a Network Admin. Right now my computer work at home revolves around studying for CCNP. Next computer project is building an centos/apachee web server to host all my old photos and the new photos I will capture with my Canon Rebel XT 8 that comes in the mail in a few days!! 8-) Ya all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New year.
