as you get into it, GFI has a good inline forum for Mail Essentials at 
forums.gfi.com

their support techs moderate and responses are usually pretty quick.

I ended up opting to go with GFI.  It seems more featureful than Xwall.
It's licensed per mailbox but the company who will be using it only has 8
boxes.  For $295 they get 25 boxes which will last them another few years
minimum.  Everyone seems to highly recommend it.

I didn't want anything client-side because it requires training.  The owner
of this company does not want to get into something like that and they have
no full time IT person to do it for him/the employees.

I prefer client-side to server-side: http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/,
which is written in python, is opensource, has an add-in for outlook.

Basically, you train it and then each subsequent message trains it more and
more.

I don't see spam anymore.

Server-side, XWall is a pretty good program. The License is per-server, so
its priced at you. If you have more than 25 mailboxes, GFI's product is >
$$$. I have had bad experience with the stability of GFI's FaxMaker product,
so I'd stay away from anything else they produce.
