I think you might be better off blocking all ports and opening only the required ones. But that also brings in to qst. the rights of your users to use ports which you might have blocked (u mentioned ISP?)
secondly how do I block the common viruses and is it possible to block spam and mail related viruses through iptables(I already got scanners installed on the mail servers)
IMHO no. Iptables should be used for blocking and restricting ip's, hosts, servers etc. if you already have scanners, you should be fine (as can be).
