This is somewhat of a shameless plug, but since it's on topic I think it's appropriate. We are a Minneapolis based ISP. We didn't like any of the current solutions available, so we developed our own. It's similar to Postini, but we've put a lot of thought into it which makes it very ISP-centric, so I like it better. And it runs on FreeBSD. We have a specific pricing structure for service providers who want to provide it to their customers. It is a commercial solution, but if anyone is looking for another "hands off" approach like Troy mentioned, check http://marvin.sihope.com.
