We are a small website development company, with the growing number of server attacks we are interested in your suggestions as to how we should protect our servers and email accounts from potential virus contamination. We use BSD as an operating system.

In general no viruses found wich can damage UNIX/LINUX/BSD etc. os systems. All problem may occur in protections of your servers.
I can't, unfortunately, help now with this problem, because, I think, this problem for all always actual, but may be it had desicions.
But first, no needs to protect mail boxes from viruses.
It must be cleared when mail comes
(by including some program on (for example: sendmail) channel by checking for viruses)
or when clients program gets this mail source.
(Client checks yourself)
My suggestion is try search for this program it may be such Norton AV program and another is translate all servers as far as possible on UNIX systems. Collect updates for AV programs if You use W9x/NT/W2k, this is only one decision in fact.
