If you use SpamAssassin, you could kill them with some rules. I've been
building up the following list of rules over the past few months which
have not caused any false positives so far (but criticism welcome):
header VIRUS_WARNING Subject =~ /^\{Virus\?\}/
describe VIRUS_WARNING Unhelpful 'virus warning'
score VIRUS_WARNING 50
header VIRUS_WARNING2 Subject =~ /Virus Detected by Network
Associates, Inc. Webshield/
describe VIRUS_WARNING2 Unhelpful NAI Webshield 'virus warning'
score VIRUS_WARNING2 100
header VIRUS_WARNING3 Subject =~ /^---- Virus Detected ----$/
describe VIRUS_WARNING3 Unhelpful Mail Marshal 'virus warning'
score VIRUS_WARNING3 100
header VIRUS_WARNING4 Subject =~ /^Virus detected$/
describe VIRUS_WARNING4 Unhelpful Tobit Software 'virus warning'
score VIRUS_WARNING4 100
header VIRUS_WARNING5 Subject =~ /^Virus Alert$/
describe VIRUS_WARNING5 Unhelpful 'virus warning'
score VIRUS_WARNING5 100
header VIRUS_WARNING6 Subject =~/^InterScan NT Alert$/
describe VIRUS_WARNING6 Unhelpful InterScan 'virus warning'
score VIRUS_WARNING6 100
header VIRUS_WARNING7 Subject =~/^Virus found in the message$/
describe VIRUS_WARNING7 Unhelpful 'virus warning'
score VIRUS_WARNING7 100
header VIRUS_WARNING8 Subject =~/^Message quarantined$/
describe VIRUS_WARNING8 Unhelpful 'virus warning'
score VIRUS_WARNING8 100
header VIRUS_WARNING9 Subject =~/^VIRUS ALERT!/
describe VIRUS_WARNING9 Unhelpful 'virus warning'
score VIRUS_WARNING9 100
header VIRUS_WARNING10 Subject =~/^Virus found in e-mail \(/
describe VIRUS_WARNING10 Unhelpful Netpilot VPN 'virus warning'
score VIRUS_WARNING10 100
header VIRUS_WARNING11 Subject =~/^MDaemon Warning - Virus Found/
describe VIRUS_WARNING11 Unhelpful MDaemon 'virus warning'
score VIRUS_WARNING11 100
header VIRUS_WARNING12 From =~/F-Secure Anti-Virus for Internet
Mail/
describe VIRUS_WARNING12 Unhelpful F-Secure 'virus warning'
score VIRUS_WARNING12 100
I only added these two rules yesterday; slightly concerned about it
catching system_filter discussions as they are quite broad:
rawbody VIRUS_WARNING13 /If you meant to send this file then
please/
describe VIRUS_WARNING13 Unhelpful Exim system_filter 'virus
warning' (1)
score VIRUS_WARNING13 6
rawbody VIRUS_WARNING14 /package it up as a zip file and resend
it/
describe VIRUS_WARNING14 Unhelpful Exim system_filter 'virus
warning' (2)
score VIRUS_WARNING14 6
