I use Alligate from Solid Oak Software, and I like it a lot. On my primary gateway, I received just shy of 500,000 connections in the last 24 hours, and my Declude only had to see 4% of that traffic. Yes, 4%.
I'm spending less time doing clever things in Declude, because Alligate is pre-filtering so well for me.

I am hosting about 30 domains worth of email and filtering for an additional 10 domains. My current configuration is all mail is pre-filtered through a Barracuda 400 box, then forwarded to a Smartermail 4.x server running Declude with Sniffer, Zero Hour, invURIBL. The Smartermail/Declude box is a Dual Quad Core HP server with 2 Gig of RAM. I am currently receiving about 600k email messages a day on the Barracuda box, and it is seeing performance issues. Before I purchase a 2nd Barracuda box I though I would check to see if anyone has a better solution. Declude still catches 40-60% SPAM after the Barracuda box.
