[2003.08.20.1017 +0200]:
in main.cf, enable "body_checks = (filename)". In that (filename)
file, write a regular expression matching sobig, e.g. something
like

/see attached file for details/     REJECT

this incurs a factor 2-4 performance drop, and it could also elicit
false positives. you should definitely do more than just REJECT
(i.e. write out a message: s/REJECT/554 Suspected virus/).

Yep, as the OP is using postfix, he could use the header_checks directive,
which can identify MIME headers, so he can easily stop this worm.
Just check for Content-Disposition header and block everything with .pif in
filename.
