The best method for protection of your network (by limiting exposure of your users to viruses) is to strip executable files. We replace the files with a small text file mentioning the filename and a brief description of why we stripped it and who to contact if they need the file.
I love guys like you. All my customers once had (still have) admins that filtered and cleaned their email for them. Also added firewalls for their protection. Now they are my customers because they do not want your protections. What you are doing is certainly proper in some cases. I would hope BofA learned that lesson after the last worm attack that killed their ATM network. That also means a lot of bank employees need to also have an ISP account from me to do things they can not do with their email on the job.
