I use ASSP (Anti Spam SMTP Proxy) for several organizations,
and it works quite well.  You can put it on Linux or Windows,
and it can run on the mail server or a separate server.  It's
definitely worth looking at if you want an inexpensive mail
filter.  It's free to use and easy to maintain, providing
that you configure it well for your environment.
