IIS act as Email Server
I have GoDaddy.com VPS server hosted there with 15 to 20 domains as well as hosting there. I also have Horde Email software (came with GoDaddy.com package) to use as web email to allow my end user to login checking email.
The server also using as SMTP server. I am actually thinking to use another SMTP server to handle email for the website.
And recently, our customer's emails getting more spam email coming in. And I just want to know what I can do to stop them.

You had host your domain on godaddy.com VPS server then you have to contact godaddy.com support team to stop spam e-mail.
Email is a complex animal. More so then we want to believe. You can use any email software you want and it is just that. I have used https://www.barracuda.com/ and comtouch when it was comtouch http://www.cyren.com/home.html?cyren, spam assassin and the algorithm built into http://www.smartertools.com/smartermail/anti-spam-server.aspx
I found the best anti spam product was postini. Google took that away and wrapped it into google apps for business. Now, when it comes to hosting for my clients, I don't even bother with email. I just set them up with google apps for business. Yes, they are going to have to pay $50 per user per year and it is not "free". But, there is little spam.
Email is such a drain on your own resources, it is not worth trying to help people out with email problems that can take a long time and you don't always have control over what you can and can't do.
Most of us here probably do a little better job and controlling our email usage and carful about which accounts we sign up for stuff. But I see business owners use one email and sign up for every little thing then complain about how much spam they get. And there is always that one person in a company that is just a big old spam magnet.
Move them to google apps for business. Don't try and be your own email ISP unless you are ready to spend a lot of time and headache and going to charge well for your time.
