We have avoided every new email virus variant for the last 4 years on our
Exchange server because we use Trend Micro Scanmail with Emanager and block
all attachment types but doc, xls and ppt with it.  It isn't rocket science.
We bought Trend after the ILoveYou was released. The only viruses we got hit
from since then was Nimda and that was because someone used a internet email
program internally instead of Outlook and opened an attachment and it saved
the eml file on their network drive and it nimda had the ability to jump
across our network shares to infect our workstations. We stopped that pretty
quickly by ordering a complete shutdown of all systems, cleaned or servers
one by one  and then stuck the cleanup batch file in ours users profile so
it ran the next time they booted up.  Even then our Exchange server never
got infected.
