Never really considered a hardware appliance but I am starting to like
that idea. I do have an Exchange Gateway (front end) but in that role it
also has to do AV, OWA, RPC over HTTP, POP3, and IMAP. So it has a lot
of other needs.
Anyone else have recommendations for a hardware based AV product that is
primarily AV? I have spam software and am not really interested in that
as a main feature, AV control is my main concern, anything extra is
added benefit if I have a need. Not looking for stuff that costs a
fortune either.

I've deployed several Barracuda appliances and they are by far the best
front line solution I've seen yet. It does not replace the need for AV
on the Exchange server but dramatically lightens the load on the
Exchange server. The SPAM filtering is top notch too and the appliance
is inexpensive.

Little different then the usual AV product of choose question, I'm
looking for Exchange specific recommendations.
I'm using Symantec Mail Security 4.5 and it's starting to give me
problems that appear to be load related. My servers have plenty of
power, but I think the AV engine is choking on the massive influx of
mass mailing worm e-mails I've gotten recently. I see 2-5k a day now
and it's causing services to crash. When they restart, they don't work.
I've tested products about 8 months back, but need new recommendations.
I remember liking AntiGen (Expensive) and Trend, but not liking McAffee
because the UI was non-intuitive and slow (java).
