You can increase the score for MICROSOFT_EXECUTABLE to something over your 
threshold, as a temporary measure.  This catches new virus types before the AV 
vendors even know about them.  It also prevents innocent executable attachments 
from going through, so a quarantine / review process is a good idea if you use 
it long term.

Install ClamAV anti-virus software on the RH box. I use amavisd-new with 
Postfix to integrate virus scanning and spam filtering. Works great!
