Sophos!  I can recommend Pure Message (even on Winodws!). The Linux
version is only available for > 500 users.

I can also recommend using plain Sophos with amavisd-new/spamassassin
etc with an hourly update script or EMLibrary, windows only :-( (with
rsync over ssh to mail server if necessary).

As for where it AV/AS sits - I tend to use postfix/amavis etc in front
of Domino.  On a server with a single NIC I add an IP alias, and get
postfix to listen on it and then pass mail to domino...
