ASSP!  Hands down winner.  Can't beat free.  :o)

But you need the beta 1.1.2.b1 to get all these features:

greylisting/delaying (http://projects.puremagic.com/greylisting/)
SPF lookup (http://spf.pobox.com/)
RBL lookup w #failures before fail
SRS (http://spf.pobox.com/srs.html)
Bayesian filtering
Recipient validation vis LDAP and/or text file.
Whitelisting
Blacklisting
Spam bomb (text in body of email, like bad URLs)
Access control
A large following
Platform independant.
File blocking
ClamAV integration

The easiest way to get started is to download the Windows installer from 
Anderson IT:
http://www.andersonit.com/assp.html which is an older production version 
1.1.0

This sets up all the prerequsites for ASSP.

Then get the upgrade to the newest beta version:

If you don't want to go that route, you can get all the istructions from 
ASSP's website.
http://assp.sourceforge.net/ and download all the files from sourceforge.

We have been using ASSP for over a year and recently the beta.  The beta has 
cut our email handled by Imail by over 50% weekdays and over 80% on weekends 
with very high accuracy as we don't block email on content but rather 
origin.  Its not perfect, but my users are very happy with the results.
