Good call, Peter.  Here's a guy who's starting to compile a bunch of
SpamAssassin rules for the virus bounce messages, might give you some
starting points for your filters.  I use SpamAssassin, but I intend to
just reject them out-of-hand during the SMTP conversation before it ever
gets that far.  This isn't the first time this has happened, it's just
the worst.  I'm now convinced these things are less than worthless, and
I'm gonna 550 them at the gateway.
