I would recommend using Postfix along with Amavisd-new which in turn
would invoke Spamassassin for spam filtering. You can also use an anti
virus program like Clam AV with it to filter for viruses also. I have
experienced excellent performance using this combination with lesser
utilization of system resources as compared to sendmail.
As suggested by many others, you must also configure a couple of RBLs
which will actually reject a major part of the incoming spam / junk mail
and leave very little for subsequent filtering.
