Indeed. Legitimate messages do occasionally contain the same ``Important
Message From'' subject line that the Melissa worm produces. If, however,
someone does want this ``fix'' for qmail, here's a sample one-liner to
put before ./Mailbox in /var/qmail/rc or in the POP-toaster .qmail file:
| bouncesaying VIRUS awk '/^Subject: I am a virus/{exit 0}/^$/{exit 1}END{exit 1}'
To test, put this line into ~you/.qmail-melissa and send some messages
to you-melissa. If you have Microsoft users with their own .qmail files,
they can decide for themselves whether to add this to .qmail.
