Just to throw in my two cents, our company uses Postini, which is a
google owned (I think) spam filter.  Basically, you point your MX record
to Postini, they get your mail, and forward it to your mail server.
That way, all the spam hits them first, and they filter everything for
you.  I don't know how much a single user account costs, but it's worth
looking into.  When I ran my own mail server, it was constantly flooded
with spam.

Hi Stuart:

You are right, if John was talking about an email server... now that is
a
waste of time and resources. I thought the conversation was about
hosting a
website... apologies.

JC included email in his specs.  Running your own email server does
imply
being hit with 
spam.
