If you have any programming skills then you could write an SMTP Event Sink to do this for you, here is a link that might help: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;313404 I must say again, its very foolish not having some form of AntiVirus protection on an Exchange system, viruses are not just sent using exe or vbs files and you are going to find yourself in a real mess without good AV protection.

Actually my employer is not interested in purchasing any anti-virus. He is saying we just want to delete vbs and exe files from emails and that should be simple. One more point is we are having a large number of mail-boxes so software licensing may also be one issue. Please help. Thank you!

We have used eScan for over 12 months now and have never been infected with a virus. The content administrator will remove whatever you set. (eg all exe files) Outlook 2000 & above & Outlook Express6 are also configured by default to strip exe files.
