And any tech worth his name knows for a fact that a brand new virus can't be scanned for on the server since the scanner doesn't have it in it's virus def files yet. It's ultimately up to your users not to be hair brained idiots

Wrong! If you utlize a decent SMTP server, such as Postfix, you can prevent executable files from being received by a user. There is no real legitimate reason to have executable files passed through e-mail. Its a waste of time to scan for viruses on executables on the server level. However, I can understand scanning for Office based Macro viruses as these sort of documents are legitimate for passing between users.

So if I steam iron my e-mail, will that eliminate the virus?

My company is a software developer, we're passing around executables all day long.
