    They can't see them, but they can infect them with a virus through email.

    Maybe. I would suggest some virus software. I would also suggest signing up
    to have an email sent to you when new vulnerabilities are discovered in the
    software you are running on your network.
    I would also suggest making sure all apps/services etc on the server and
    clients are patched. They come up with ways to compromise servers almost on
    a daily basis, what is "safe" today may not be tomorrow. There is a big
    difference between making a server/network safe and keeping a network safe.
