I'm currently stopping it with a procmail recipe that is a common part of
the executables.

/var/mail/procmail/virus
Could probably write something that looks for the same string in the body of
the message and reject or delete on that.

If this was intended as a joke, my apologies, my humor engine has not yet
recieved sufficient caffine to operate properly ;-)
