The klez filter doesn't really try to find the Klez virus. Its more like
an "EXE file in an attachment" filter. The checks aren't really correct,
either. It should probably be marked as "quick hack" or "demo plugin"
and not be enabled by default.
Which reminds me: The plugins are of wildly varying quality. It would be
nice if there was a simpler way to find out which plugins are useable
than reading the source code or the archive of this list. A
classification in the pod (Status: (quick hack|alpha|beta|production|...))
would be a start (at least it reflects the authors opinion on the
quality of his code). I might also set up a web page for qpsmtpd
plugins, because not all are included in the distribution, and those
only mentioned on the list are sometimes hard to find. That might
include a rating system.
