"GFI's offering or MailMarshal however it doesn't always catch newly crafted spam mails until you have altered or added new filters (im sure other members on this list could give indications on how much they need to maintain the text sensor scripts to block new spam waves)." That is where the iHateSpam Server Edition shines, we DO catch the newly formatted spams and update the Spam Definitions, much like your AV does: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/product.cfm?id=931 5 minute setup and pretty much forget it, except that you will now be getting much less spam by 95%. This tool smokes GFI and NetIQ, but.. I 'm biased. :) Our customers speak for themselves though.

The other alternative is to pay for a managed service to receive your email through, like messagelabs. They are obviously as about as up to date as you can be on their virus and spam filtering as it's the core of their business model. Either way its gonna cost money.
