[plug] filtering virus infected files

[Mike Hasleby]

Hi all,

With the advent of yet another email virus in the guise of the “love
bug” last week, am I wrong in suspecting that on our email servers we
can put in a filter to siphon off message containing a  string of text
in the subject, and redirect it to /dev/null ? Thus eliminating the
problem of known viruses before they get to their destination.
Is this possible or am I dreaming?
