We are using Symantec's Norton AntiVirus for Internet Gateways 2.5.2, which delivers to open source sendmail.

We've been fairly happy with the product.

It's been replaced recently with Symantec Antivirus for SMTP Gateways, but should be basically the same product.

We reviewed Amavis back when we picked a solution 18 months ago, and it just didn't scale then. That might have changed.

We looked at Trend's product too, and it looked very promising, but was priced significantly higher than Symantec's product (like four times as much).
