I have modified the sendmail servers that I am responsible for with
the suggestion found on the sendmail web site.

I am also aware that this method shouldn't be an organisations only
defence with this type of virus, but at least its a good temporary
mesure to have in place.

It works (well).

As I am not a 'sendmail' guru, a few thoughts crossed by mind.

1. Could this be modified to reject on PARTIAL matches within the
Subject field, i.e.: *JOKE*

2. Could it delve into the content of the message to weed out suspect
mime/uuencode attachment names. i.e.: *.VBS or *.EXE

3. Could it be modified to allow key phrases to be included in a data
base, along the lines of how access.db works, keeping in mind points 1
& 2.

Unfortunately we live in a would were both Windows and Unix must
co-exist.

Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
