The sendmail "fix" is silly. It's 4 lines (or something), and all it does
is search for a string in the subject line. That "fix" is more
likely to bounce good mail than it is to catch the virus. At any
rate, I just sent off a plea to the list for a copy of this virus to
work from. If and when I come up with something acceptable, it will
be released to the qmail community, probably under the GPL, but definitely
for free. I'm undecided on whether to patch the source, or just make a
standalone program to be called from a .qmail file.
