Very useful.  I started using these signatures on this University's
mail servers on Monday.  Appended below are the stats on the
incoming crap they stopped yesterday (Tuesday).

Total                                                 308

The total incoming virus count for yesterday was 512[1].  So these
signatures account for some 60% of what was detected.

[1] I'm blocking on several RBLs and using other methods for
    reducing incoming rubbish.  These may well be preventing a lot
    of viruses even reaching the scanning stage.
