MXLogic has a great product that we have been using for over three years 
with no problems.  $.50 per user per month with a min chg of $50 per month.

The great thing with them is they filter the mail BEFORE it reaches your 
network, anything they block is reported to the end user at which time they 
can decide whether to release it (have it sent on to them) or have it 
deleted.

Our bankwidth usage dropped a full 19 points after we started using them.

If you have further information, send me a quick note and I will pass along 
the info.
