We're using Central Command's Vexira (standalone, not the MailArmor
system) with good results.  Standalone does present a higher load on
the server, but it's standing up quite well.  I had to change
mimedefang.pl slightly to make it sense that Vexira was there --
Vexira is derived from the H+BEDV product, and has all the same
command line args, but lives as /usr/bin/vexira -- just change the
path name and then refer to it as HBEDV, and you're set.
