Yes, it will (already supported in CVS).
Great! I've been using meta-data signatures, via procmail, probably since
sircam came out in 2001, and it works very good. I'm still catching
mydoom variants using a procmail recipe I wrote in 2003 (much to my
surprise, I might add). (See http://www.xs4all.nl/~johnpc/procmailrc.txt
if you're interested).
But it's also bad, since if a high-profile virus scanner like ClamAV is
going to start matching meta-data, then virus writers are more likely to
notice and start changing it with each virus release, making my procmail
hackery less effective ;)
