You mentioned that they might not be open to using a linux machine for 
this, but they might want to rethink that.  I and everyone I know uses 
linux and spamassassin coupled with any of a number of anti-spam measures. 
Most of those anti-spam measures are not linux specific so any unix will 
run them just fine.  So I guess the other people I know are recommending 
linux.
