I disagree. Actually, they've become more clever with recent incarnations. Fetching valid e-mail addresses from address books or harvesting new addresses from existing mail folders _is_ clever. I could puke everytime I realize one of my addresses has been abused by a virus on some infected system somewhere on the Internet and when I receive bounced messages or quarantine notifications (which are much more stupid than the virus).

I know what your saying ive been getting a few of these on a domain i used to manage. it was good to see clamav got it in its definitions quickly.
though it is a good indication that we need something like mailscanner or amavais in Fedora somewhere.

my experiences:
http://www.amavis.org/ i tried it ~2 years agoo, i wasn´t impressed and removed it.
http://mailscanner.info i tried it ~1/2 year agoo, i was impressed. easy to install, upgrade, configure, ...
./install.sh [no problems] # chkconfig sendmail off # service sendmail stop # chkconfig MailScanner on # service MailScanner start
# upgrade_MailScanner_conf

I can also support mailscanner, I have it on lots of systems and my customers systems and it is simply the very best I have come across. Also the support on the email list is also very good.
