Agreed. A nice, off-network solution to drag all the known crud out is
an excellent plan. There are quite a few well known providers -
MessageLabs, Postini are two other ones (Postini just got bought)

Then have a solution on your SMTP gateway (FE etc.) and if you want
one on the BE then fine but have one on the client.

All the products are the same so don't bother with asking about
vendors. The only exception is GroupShield which you must avoid at all
costs.

Just curious, why avoid Groupshield? We currently use it; we've been a "McAfee shop" for years (about 5000 users). Groupshield 6.x is more difficult to manage than 5.x was, but it seems to work OK. From what I've heard, 7.x (I believe it's due out by the end of the year), is going to bring back some of the 5.x functionality that the dropped in 6..
