Check out www.postfix.org, and http://www.freebsddiary.org/postfix.php.
Also, make sure you read through 
http://www.securitysage.com/guides/postfix_uce.html, as it contains
valueable information about spam and virus filtering.

What I'm using here is 4.9-STABLE, Running Postfix+amavisd+clamav.
All installed through the ports collection, Rock solid.
