Personally, for such a setup - I'd go with postfix-mysql + cyrusimapd,
and for webadmin you can throw in web-cyradm. That will let you manage
virtual users / domains / forwards / autoreplies etc
One of the most recommended setup's to combat spam, cheaply, seems to be
implementing greylisting within postfix. In most cases that reduced your
spam intake by almost 98% without any extra cost on cpu or bandwidth.
For antivirus filtering take a look at MailScanner (
http://mailscanner.info/ ) it integrates well into CentOS3 or 4. And can
work with most antivirus scanners that work on Linux.
