sorry I don't trust headers only! when it comes to viruses only the file itself (when non polymorphic can help)

exm.. I have to comment that..

I suppose you mean the rules here:
http://www.impsec.org/email-tools/local-rules.procmail

Lets take it one by one:

  1. Hybris detection mainly by size and malformed To, Subject headers.. xmm.. sorry not my style
  2. SirCam traped by strings: AAAAGgU0NhbTMyABCDTUlN AAAAAaBTQ2FtMzIAEINNSU1F ABkAAAABoFNDYW0zMgAQg01J

these strings where originally found at a post in procmail-list: http://www.rosat.mpe-garching.mpg.de/mailing-lists/procmail/2001-07/msg00510.html

Do you need help?X

as the author says he used string values from the exe body. STRING values.. anyone could change that even a kid with a hex editor..

3. Badtrans again by size and boundary stuff..

4. Klez & BugBear by base64: TVqQAAMAAAAEAAAA typical to a huge amount of legitimate windows executables..

(anyway I never said that mine is better :p I just wrote it, use it and felt like sharing it...)

But the future impact isn't gone yet.. Here is an interesting problem for all regexp magicians.. :
