Use Postfix/ Spamassassin in this environment. Postfix MTA allows you to put rules in 
to filter on expired addresses, known spam addresses, specfic information in the 
header as well as attachments. Spamassassin spam filtering itself is very good.

Subject: how does everyone fight this spam?


Hi all. We are receiving a lot of these bogus messages every day - "bug
notice", "failure message", "report", "error advice", "bug
announcement", etc. Some of them have a fake Microsoft address in the
from line. They seem to be generated by a virus. Our antivirus programs
(SurfControl and NAVEX) catch and kill the virus, but the messages still
get through. They don't seem to have any consistent subject or From
address...

It seems that other organizations should be affected too, I am just
wondering how others are dealing with these messages.

Thanks!
