Email Spam Filtering and Anti-Virus solutions

We've been using Symantec Mail Security for SMTP for the past few years as a mail gateway to filter out spam and viruses before it hits our Exchange server and outlook clients.   We are looking for a new solution because of the high cost in renewing our user licenses with Symantec.  It would be nice to have a hardware type solution like Barracuda or SonicWall.  Symantec's filtering application had to run on our a couple of our Windows servers and it really hurt the overall performance of the server.  I was just looking for recommendations and what others have experience with for Email Security products.  We have around 850 email users and close to 2 million emails a week (91% is spam and is removed before it reaches our users).

Thanks.

I like our Barracuda, I've blocked several million messages on a 50 user network in less than a year.

I agree with the first poster...

POSTINI is a great spam filtering company for a corporate solution.

I use it, and I can't remember the last time spam actually made it to my inbox.
