Is this email infected ? Does your A/V say so, or how do you know it's
infected ? Is there an attachment ? Is the A/V product configured to delete
infected email, or clean it and send it to you anyway? (delete is the way to
go).

If this address quoin@quoin.org is not in your active directory, then why
not turn on AD filter in exchange? Not really the solution if the A/V
product isn't working right, but at least you can refuse a whole bunch of
crap before relying on A/V.
