From the above I deduce that we are talking about the new BadtransII
or in other words - the newest mutation of the virus, the one whose
breakout we all - as I can see - now observe. And if so, then notifying
the sender is meaningless, the sender address is mangled by the virus,
typically by adding an '_' in front of it. As to the rest of the filter
code - that's about what I would use. Actually, albeit short, even
"3Dcid:EA4DMGBP9p height=3D0 width=3D0" alone shouldn't give any false
positives in real-world operation.
