For exim there is a filter which rejects all mail with directly
executable files attached (ftp.exim.org/pub/filter - or similar).
While not a virus filter it helps protect from stupid mistakes and
overly (virus-)friendly mail clients.

At work we use Trend with good success. It comes with builtin HTTP
proxy and mail gate, so no manual configuration of mail servers needed
for integration. Web interface is nice for Win*-spoiled admins, but
plain config file editing works just as well.

Postfix or exim. I found exim to be easier to set up - which might
have to do with the not-so-good/extensive docs for postfix...
