I'd highly recommend MailScanner (http://www.mailscanner.info) combined
with SpamAssassin (http://www.spamassassin.org) and ClamAv
(http://www.clamav.net/). The great thing about MailScanner is that it
doesn't use milters, so you don't have to wait for a program to fire up and
risk sending back temporary failure error codes. As long as your disks can
keep up and you don't run out of queue space, it doesn't matter how long
MailScanner takes to process messages. It'll also process messages in
blocks, which makes things a lot more efficient if you're processing large
amounts of mail.
