hi,
                                                                                                  
after i answered a question on debian-firewall a few days earlier this week, 
my mailbox got viruses, about 5 - 10 an hour or so, and kept going on for a
few days until i solved the prob by using the "body_checks" option in
postfix, that stopped all .exe .pif etc. attachments
