Not GroupWise, that's for sure. ;-)  If I were you I'd build a linux or BSD
server with sendmail and procmail as the MDA with spamd.  procmail is the
default MDA with linux, with FreeBSD you'll need to build a new cf with
procmail as the MDA.  However, some might argue that qmail, postfix or 
exim would be better choices.  You can then use a global procmailrc to fire
off spamc.  This is the way that I've used it, it's easy to troubleshoot,
easy to setup and seems to work like a charm.

I've had a very good experience under both OS' for quite a while.

My sendmail.mc for FreeBSD which is pretty stock apart from the procmail
bit.
