if you have a significant number of French-language users, I'd love to
have some feedback on a ruleset to catch the endless virus hoax
messages. Things like "the worst ever according to CNN", "only
discovered yesterday, no rememdy, according to McAfee", "burns the
sector zero of your hard disk" and that sort of stuff, except in French.

It works okay for me, although I should point out that I draw the line
at 8.0, so you might want reduce the scores a bit if you cut off at 5.0.

Strange, I'm the Network admin for an ISP in Montreal, Quebec and I've
never ever seen anything like that (about 30k email accounts, 90% French).
Maybe it's geographically limited to France, I dunno. We have about 1000
accounts, and the help desk regularly gets hit with panicky consultants
wondering whether they should forward it to the entire company and/or
their address book.
There's also the jdbgmr teddy bear virus hoax, but it hasn't come up on
my radar for quite some time now, so I lack a suitable corpus.
