In addition to whatever else you do, use a greylister to prevent virus/spam.
I've been playing with different techniques for months, and the greylister
is the best I've used so far.  It never has a false positive, rejects virus/spam
before using up all the bandwidth to send it, uses almost no CPU and (in my
experience) stops about 95% of the viruses and spams.
