I like exim and debian.  exim has an easy to work with config file
format, and it has a free license (any takers as to why qmail isn't in
debian?).  The disadvantage is that exim itself doesn't provide any
way to externally scan the message.  In my setup the messages pass
through exim twice -- the first time it gets delivered to SA and the
second time it passes on to its destination.  There is another utility
called "exiscan" that allows plugging a virus scanner (or SA, I
presume) into the exim process by operating directly on the queue.
exim 4 provides a way to hook external processing into the system, but
AFAIK no one has written the glue code to link SA in.
