What are you using for virus scanning?

MIMEDefang, by design, lets through zip file (and unknown extentions such
as .zi)

Unless you wish to allow text/plain only, you can't expect MIMEDefang to
protect you from all Email worms.  Clamav (among others) does a nice job
of catching things in zip files.
