And every single copy of Sobig-F goes out with the header:
X-MailScanner: Found to be clean
What's wrong with this picture?
Well, as the group that made MailScanner, we take the presence of that line
as a great compliment by the virus writer :)
Aside: MailScanner (which is open source and free) is one of few gateway
spam/virus detectors that can cater for those virii that forge email From:
headers so that warnings do not erroneously go back to the forged sender.
See www.mailscanner.info if you're interested.
