Also, for those of you running xmail on Linux or BSD check out http://www.hbedv.com/produkte/email/lnx_mailgate.htm It's free for private non-commercial use, look at the bottom of the Prices page for details. It doesn't use the filters in xmail, it receives and checks the mail and then passes it on to xmail after it's been checked. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but I will as soon as I get a few moments to play.
They also have an Anti-virus API DLL that could be useful for those running under Windows. It loads once and you aren't constantly reloading the program for each and every e-mail that comes in. I don't know much more about it because when I click on the info link it goes to a page that is not in English. Look for SAVAPI in the products section. No idea on cost.
