We use scanmail from Trend Micro.  The user just gets a notificaton
letting them know the email contained a virus and so it was blocked.

        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
