Cloudmark has a very nice SA plugin, good service, great support, if you 
can afford the costs. Does lots of nice magic.

Commtouch is a weird company to deal with, their stuff is FP prone.
I never got to test their SA plugin as after getting 4 mails fullof 
marketing PDF fluff, they weren't willing to deliver a trial, after 
filling a trial form, go figure..

McAfee's Artemis is doing good stuff as AV.

pointers may be of some use.
