Spamassassin + Exchange 2k3 + Antivirus Recommendations

[Christopher Brower <cb...@comcast.net>]

Can anyone recommend a good setup for running Sapmassassin and an open
source antivirus solution on a SMTP gateway infront of an Exchange box?
Also could you point me to some guides? It's been awhile since I setup
spam assassin and last time I did I think it was version 2.0. Is it
possible now to allow users to setup their own whitelists and spam
filter levels through something like mysql?
 
Thanks,

I prefer Exim, SA, and ClamAV doing SMTP-time rejection.  However,  
this does not offer you any easy way to do per-user settings or  
whitelists.

You might want to check out something like Maia Mailguard.

IMO, Centos 4.x with MailScanner (mailscanner.info) running ClamAV / SpamAssassin.

Suggestions: use amavis, MailScanner or mimedefang as a MTA integration. 
Use clamav as an antivirus package (it's the only OSS av app I know of)

A long list of different integration tools (sorted by MTA) can be found in 
the wiki

See above, many of the sites have guides.

Yes. user_prefs can now be SQL stored.
