Spam Solution Required

Per-user stuff is always problematic on a mail gateway but take a good look
at MailScanner (http://www.mailscanner.info).  We're using it here on a box
running Fedora Core 1.

I'd recommend doing virus scanning on this box too - try ClamAV from
http://www.clamav.net.

Cheers,

Phil
