I would say Kaspersky Anti Virus (www.kaspersky.com). You can purchase
a server license for around $500. They have some mail server middle ware
software which is licensed by the user, but you won't need it if you
use Exiscan. Kaspersky works well with Exiscan.

The number of Kaspersky virus definitions seems lower than Norton, but
Kaspersky was finding Klez variants that a Norton protected workstation,
Live Updated that day, didn't detect.

Also, remember the discussion on this how recursive ZIP files can used
as denial of service attacks against virus scanning SMTP servers? Not a
problem for Kaspersky, as it flags 42.zip (the recursive zip test file)
as a possible mailbomb.
