I run GFI MailEssentials on a separate server than my ISA and mail servers. ISA routes mail to my relay server (GFI), in turn my relay server then scans it for spam and virus files, once all is okay, it then sends it to my Mail servers. I have found that you need to have a powerful enough machine to make this product work with Windows 2000 IIS and SMTP. I have it on a Windows 2000 Server SP2, I have had some issues with the mail getting stuck in the SMTP directory, however if I recycle the SMTP service it sends it out. I have not upgraded to SP3 yet to see if that will fix it. Otherwise I like the product and it works great.

To me, though, that's a little like attaching fans to your tires to cool the engine. You should place you spam filter and setting at the mail server, where the mail is handled. Take a look in the docs for you mail server and make note of those settings that prevent unwanted mail from either leaving or entering first. Then consider what software is required to "finish the job".
