Hi John -

I use clamSMTP - it is c based proxy that is very lightweight and easy 
to use.  I also use ASSP in front of this for anti-spam (so sender -> 
ASSP -> clamSMTP -> XMail -> sendee).  As it turns out, after testing, 
the emails didn't even reach my anti-virus because ASSP blocked all of 
the attachments, but I am reasonably certain that it would have caught 
all of them regardless - I have had great success with clamSMTP.
