| John,
| 
| On my externally-facing MTA (postfix), incoming email is 
| scanned for the following pattern and rejected with a 550 
| code if it matches. 
| 
| /^TVqQAAMAAAAEAAAA\/\/8AALgAAAAAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/ 
| 
| Now I don't know if there have been any false positives, but 
| I don't think so. No-one has complained and the check only 
| causes rejected emails when there are viruses active. 
| 
| I think there have been zero false negatives, but once again, 
| I'm not 100% sure about this. 
| 
| Simon
