Free Anti-SPAM solutions for Small Buisness

I have been doing some research lately on Free/Open Source Anti-SPAM solutions. I have found 3 that look very promising. I hope to have the time to test them this week.

1. Proxmox

Proxmox is a commercial product but offers a free version for single domain environments. It does not have all the bells and whistles as the full blown pay version but still looks like a good product. It can also be downloaded as pre-installed VM for easy setup.

2. ASSP

ASSP (Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy) is 100% open source. Looks to run on windows or nix.

3. Untangle

Untangle is an open source suite of goodness. This looks to be very interesting. There is a huge list of plug-ins for this application. Most plug-ins are free.
