I strongly second David's suggestion.  From a cost/benefit perspective you 
can't beat a linux mail server.  You get anti-virus software to scan all 
the incoming and outgoing emails to protect your Windows clients (clamav), 
spam filtering (spamassassin), scaling from very small to amazingly large, 
and probably the best reliability of any email server.  Oh - and it is 
free and easy to find knowledgeable people who have extensive experience 
with it.

It's not the software that's free; it's you.
