Hi.

The ILOVEYOU virus has hit our mail servers in the UK, but I managed I implement a filter on exim (hopefully) before much damage was caused. It's nothing complicated - just redirects all emails with the appropiate subject "ILOVEYOU" to a specified mailbox.

Save this as a filter file on your system:
# Exim filter
if $header_subject: is "ILOVEYOU"
then
deliver suspicious@<yourdomain.com>
endif

and set in the main config
message_filter = <path to filter file>


Hope people find this useful
