Hi I use Spamassassin 2.61 & MailScanner www.mailscanner.info Using 2 servers we process betweek 3k and 20k emails a day, block between 1.5k & 7k spams/day with approx 1 to 2 getting through/day and 1 to 2 False positives/WEEK and we have blocked up to 1k virus's/day. We also set-up, install and support servers for customers and these also have very low fp rates after a few days/weeks of fine tuning, depending upon the type/volume of spam received by that domain. It does take a little while to fine tune but it works very very well.
