One other suggestion - I set this up years ago, but was forced to
retire it in favor of a Barracuda appliance, which does basically the
same thing - security/maia. It worked very well for our 250 users, and
was pretty easy to administer.
It might be overkill for your situation - it's meant as a spam filter
for an organization, but the pkg-descr is below
Maia Mailguard is a web-based interface and management system based on the
popular amavisd-new e-mail scanner and SpamAssassin. Written in
Perl and PHP,
Maia Mailguard gives end-users control over how their mail is processed by
virus scanners and spam filters, while giving mail administrators the power
to configure site-wide defaults and limits.
