mimedefang reliably defangs all such viruses, in my experience, and
includes spam-assassin.
Playing catch-up on every virus is quite tedious, and ultimately
sure to fail.  On the exceedingly rare occasions when sending an
executable file is necessary, renaming/compressing/encrypting it
will allow it to pass.
Does anybody know a reason *not* to run mimedefang, if you run
sendmail?
