You have multiple options
1. Ironport / Fortinet etc gateways. [Not barracuda - hardly carrier
class, enterprise grade more like it]
2. Outsource to a provider like Messagelabs or MXLogic that only
handles the spam filtering, lets you host your own mailboxes
3. Outsource to one or more vendors of hosted email services - Google
Apps, Microsoft BPOS, IBM Lotuslive etc
your choice based on what meets your requirements.
