Are you already running anti-virus software on your mail-server?

If not, see:
http://www.clamav.net/
http://www.amavis.org/howto/
and any howtos for the mail server you are running.

There are also various commercial virus scanners available for Linux.  I 
compiled a list of those I could find at 
http://oss.openminddev.net/mysource/web/?p=40.  I would be interested to hear 
of others.

As for your users tendancy to run unknown attachements, I would also suggest 
trying to get your users to upgade to Linux, to avoid the viruses.  :-)

Cheers,

Rasjid.
