I don't know how many clients you have or what version of outlook you are running but the outlook security patch works well. We installed it at work months ago and haven't had any complaints. I think both Panda software and Network Associates (McAfee) have software that will run on an Exchange server that will block/scan attachments also. (Too bad you gotta pay for 'em.) How to do it with a linux box I don't know, but I haven't seen any viri on this list for a few days. http://office.microsoft.com/downloaddetails/Out98sec.htm Haven't had a virus outbreak since.
