for postfix, use body_check directive
in /etc/postfix/main.cf
body_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/body_check
in /etc/postfix/body_checks
/^TVqQAAMAAAAEAAAA\/\/8AALgAAAAAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA$/
REJECT sobig.f

We are talking of a mail server there, aka stuff supposed to be used by
competent people only. I don't see the point of providing them default
configuration that won't match their needs.

the REJECT directive here just send the mail back to the real sender during
the STMP transaction, which is the virus here.
