I'd recommend Postfix with Amavisd-new or clamav. I've found the
following HOWTO to be very good:


"Fairly-Secure Anti-SPAM Gateway Using OpenBSD, Postfix, Amavisd-new,
SpamAssassin, Razor and DCC"

Though the above HOWTO discusses OpenBSD, It has some Linux related notes
at the end including clamav. Clamav works very well.

In addition you can use postfix's body_checks and header_checks to filter
most viruses.  I use the following...
