>with undeliverable from viruses that we did not send. How do I stop this?

you can't stop it, you can only reject it.

to unknown users of your domains, or to known users?

With even the big mail cleaning outfits like brightmail and message labs 
seeing 70+% of all mail as non-legit, it is becoming increasinly untenable 
to defend those volumes on the mailbox server while accepting all inbound 
in totality before rejecting.   I admin several MXs for ISPs where the 
reject rate is 80% to 90%, on weekdays.
