Four options/solutions depending on your budget, time, experience:
1) Sign-up for a managed outsourced Anti-spam/virus service such as:
Postini, MX Logic, Brightmail,etc.
2) Setup your own email anti-spam firewall/gateway system such as:
Postfix on FreeBSD
3) Procure an anti-spam appliance such as: Barracuda spam firewall, xwall, etc.
4) Procure something from GFI for Exchange.
