Not all attachments -- data oriented patches are OK.  But I do feel that 
in general forbidding executable attachments is at least as effective as
virus scan.

This morning Jeff disallowed a number of mime types from this list.  He 
is adding .com and .bat at my request.  He should post a full list
shortly.
If he missed any, point it out.
