I just saw two today.  This may not be what you're seeing, JT, but here
goes:

What I saw were two broken Sober.X messages that were bounced with the
original message (the viral message) truncated.  F-Prot didn't trigger
on the broken attachment and the bounce didn't trigger my custom filters
to weed out junk bounces.

The messages made it into my internal mail system, where they were
caught by Trend Micro ScanMail for Exchange.  When I looked up the
details on the virus that was named, the alias matched the Symantec name
for the virus.

Given that it was broken, I regard this as a spam issue, and not a case
of F-Prot failing to detect the damaged Sober virus.  If I can get the
original, I'll submit to F-Prot anyway in the hope that they will come
with a signature.
