I haven't actually been able to get it working, but I've read that by using MS 
ISA server as a firewall you can impose SMTP filters that can actually drop 
incoming emails depending on the file attachment extension or actual file name 
(ie: .exe, .bat, .vbs, .pif, your_updates.zip, etc....)

        Hi does anyone use an antivirus program. That automatically returns and
        infected E-mail to the sender, and stops it appearing in the users 
inbox.
        Our current antivirus solution "CA E-trust" just removes the infected
        attachment, so the body of the E-mail appears in the user's inbox.
        Consequently we have users with hundreds of So-Big Emails cluttering 
their
        inboxes. A preferred solution would be the users never see the infected
        E-mail at all, only the sender gets a notification. The other acceptable
        solution would be, the user just gets a notification from the AV agent 
that
        a virus infect E-mail from "smith@xxxxxxxxxxxx" was blocked.
        For this solution to be useful to me if would have to work with 
exchange 5.5
        which we are currently running and Exchange 2003 which we intend to 
upgrade
        to
