Be *very* careful you don't start autoreplying to a worm, then, thus
contributing to the problem instead of the solution.

Since you've already got exiscan-acl running, why not take the small extra
step to use a proper malware scanner such as clamav? It will do a much
better job at detection with no manual intervention from you when a new worm
comes along. It will return the name of the virus it found in an expansion
variable so you can use it in a condtion if you need to.

Look at the 'fakereject' control - you may be able to make it do what you
want.
