Much of a muchness, really, but I'd go for the Sun Fire X2100 M2 because I
find the Opterons to cope better with huge load.
For a antivirus/antispam relay, the things that really matter are memory
and disc IO - disc IO is the biggest bottleneck.
Get the SAS drives either way, and get enough memory that you can make
/tmp 'n ramdrive.
