There is another way to deal with Sobig virus blocking the attached pif file without sending a notify to the forged sender.

As you could read at <http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32sobigf.html> Sobig usually send an attachment with one of these names:

movie0045.pif
wicked_scr.scr
application.pif
document_9446.pif
details.pif
your_details.pif
thank_you.pif
document_all.pif
your_document.pif

So you could add in your quarantine-attachments.txt file these lines before the line that blocks pif files:

movie0045.pif   0       Sobig Virus
wicked_scr.scr  0       Sobig Virus
application.pif 0       Sobig Virus
document_9446.pif       0       Sobig Virus
details.pif     0       Sobig Virus
your_details.pif        0       Sobig Virus
thank_you.pif   0       Sobig Virus
document_all.pif        0       Sobig Virus
your_document.pif       0       Sobig Virus

I've test it sending an innocuous file named "movie0045.pif" and here is the log:

.........
26/08/2003 15:50:49:24914: p_s: checking movie0045.pif against perlscanner database...
26/08/2003 15:50:49:24914: p_s: file movie0045.pif is lowercased to movie0045.pif and has extension .pif

26/08/2003 15:50:49:24914: v_v_t_r: does Sobig Virus contain sobig?
26/08/2003 15:50:49:24914: v_v_t_r: yes it does! - so don't notify the sender
26/08/2003 15:50:49:24914: n_a: notify_addr (set to sender,admin) called with admin
...........


And obviously the sender (me) wasn't notified.

In the other hand I can't talk to my mail administrator, because I am the mail administrator. ;-)
