Yup, you'll need something more sophisticated. I'd recommend
MIMEDefang myself, but amavis will likely do too.

The easiest, and by far the safest solution, though, is to wield
the cluestick and excersize your percussion technique on this
customer's cranium until he sees the light.

The customer already proved to be susceptible to software diseases.
I would rather add another virus scanner on email coming from that
domain than whitelist the domain and/or filetype from scanning.

You wouldn't want the next excel macro virus to spread through your
mail server, and having the rest of the world point to you saying:
"He's the one! He disabled the virus filters, allowing the stuff
to spread!"
