Rephrase your question.
Since the defacto-way of today to protect a network
of comercial software, is to put a Linux/*BSD box
between the network and the Internet, your question
sounds a bit like:
How to protect the firewall with a firewall?

Not something that can easily be described in any detail in a single
netnews posting, but look at Sendmail, Mimedefang, Amavis, and ClamAV.

If you're convinced you want commercial software in the mix, try Sophos
(commercial, runs on Slackware Linux) and Sophie, instead of ClamAV and
Amavis.

I hope that helps ...

Agreed, just a few points in details :

I'd recommend MimeDefang+ClamAV (you don't need Amavis with MimeDefang)
And if you want the supported (and commercial) version see CanIt Pro,
it is very good, the support is fair and quick and the fares are really
incredibly sensible and well scaled for different needs.

Agreed, though if the question implies a full solid integrated solution
regardless of the cost (very regardless ;-) I'd recommend PureMessage
(Sophos) but I feel dizzy to post this on Usenet in an open source related
group ;-)

The only technical problems of these two solutions are that MimeDefang
requires Perl and PureMessage requires Java.
