Though I understand you are providing an example of
what you meant, perhaps it would have been better to
rename it "16e547f1.w95-hybris-worm-exe" or something
similar, instead of sending a live copy of it unaltered to the
mailing list.  Then again, the majority here read from mutt
etc, so risk is pretty minimal.

OTOH, If people are crazy enough to unknown attachments
in unknown emails, as well as not using an Antivirus program
on windows.. well... hehe.

Regardless, You may want to take a look at Amavis,
Qmail-Scanner, or some of the other scanning options
available.

HBDEV offers a free license for their antivirus program on *nix,
as long as it's for personal use.  It seems to work well, and
I believe both Amavis and Qmail-Scanner support it.

I know this doesn't address your question of 'how do I
block relayed mail with a blank from field', but perhaps
you will still find it somewhat useful.
