How big of a setup does he have? If he's got the budget for it, I'd say stay away from software solutions & get a hardware device. We just installed a Barracuda (http://www.barracudanetworks.com/ns/?L=en) filter, and so far it's made a world of difference. It's not that expensive compared to other hardware solutions, and seems to work better than most.

he's got a small biz server, only about 10 users.

2k is a lot more than they wanna spend. i'm sure hardware does work better. but for tiny biz - it's not that cost effective.

I have no idea what it costs, but this is what we use:
Sybari Advanced Spam

Looks like you have to call a sales rep for pricing info.

Meant to add that it works really well. I got a ton of spam and it all stopped after installing this. I'm usually not impressed with spam filters, but this one is quite good.
