    With regards to the outlook mail you could perhaps look at a commercial content scanning products (there is probably open source around) like MailMarshall, Mail Essentials or MimeSweeper. I use the first one with a comand line virus scanner and have not had an email virus since i installed it. You may need to change email policies if blocking someones existing access.

    Subject: Blocking personal email

    In a company using the exchange / outlook combination is there any way
    to block users from using outlook to receive non-exchange mail? We are
    concerned about people adding their personal email to the Outlook
    accounts and subsequently being exposed to more viruses. The mail that
    goes through exchange is guaranteed to be scanned before it's viewed. I
    know that POP3 and SMTP can be blocked by ports, but what about services
    like HOTMAIL where outlook can use HTTP to retrieve mail? Is the only
    solution to block that site (making it so users can't see any hotmail
    pages in the browser either)?

    Thanks,
