I have the following in my exim.conf

acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_check_rcpt

begin acl

acl_check_rcpt:
accept hosts = :
Etc...

Do I put it after the accept host = :?

A simple check for the Sobig virus (and others).

        # This checks for defective TZ date header - Common Virus Header
        # Lets log this to the logs
        warn    log_message = DISCARD: MALFORMED DATE HEADER (double Dash on
TZ)
                condition = ${if
match{$header_date:}{\N\s--\d{4}$\N}{yes}{no}}


        # Now discard it so it doesn't bounce back as a virus sent by our
user.
        discard condition = ${if
match{$header_date:}{\N\s--\d{4}$\N}{yes}{no}}


Classic example (This had a application . pif attachment)

Three common threads...

1) TZ has double dash in it.
2) X-MailScanner: Found to be clean
3) X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000

However... The double dash TZ is easy to spot.
