Yes, absolutely.  The poor **cough cough** exchange 5.5 **cough cough**
servers that I protect are much happier without phishing attacks.  I do
run uribl checking against the PH list to kill off more of them, but
belts and suspenders for malware is my motto.

But then again, I'm such a mean censor that I kill off all of those cute
e-mails with sound-tracks...  Never yet saw an e-mail with a midi
attachment that was business related....

So, Julian should use Amavis-new, add spamcop reporters to the
virus-lover's lookup list, and be done.  I'm sure there is a way to make
the virus-lover's list only hit true on particular virus patterns - at
least there was discussion of that sort of feature on the ML about six
months ago, and there have been three new versions since then....

And the rest of us can just watch our statistics go up and grin with
glee.
