If you use the SaneSecurity signatures, it is actually extremely likely
that you will find "infected" files in existing mailboxes.  The signatures
are terrific, but there is an unavoidable lag between the newest phishes
and the updated sigs, moreso than in the standard anti-virus sigs.

This is the case in my environment, anyway.
