Theres not much to say about McAffe but heres is some information on the others.

 

Brightmail was recently acquired by Symantec (makers of Norton AV).

Symantec Brightmail Anti-Spam™ Version 6.0 is a high performance software solution that blocks spam at the Internet gateway.
Edge Gx is owned by Openwave.
Edge Gx monitors abusive messaging behaviors -- excessive volume from a single sender, forged IP addresses -- and keeps the violators off the system without having to check each message.
