[Mimedefang] Viruses getting in via undeliverables

We are starting to see the MyDoom virus come in via email and getting
past our MIMEDefang set up that has anti-virus watching it.  After
researching this, the viruses are coming in through undeliverable messages.

What is happening is that some mailers are replying with undeliverables
and are including the entire email that was sent in the reply,
attachments and all.  So, the virus is basically coming in as an
attachment to an attachemnt, and for some reason the antivirus software
on two different systems cannot catch it.  However, desktop antivirus is
catching it.

I've included the headers for one of the emails that got through.  How
can these be blocked?

It looks like possibly blocking Content-Type: message/rfc822 attachments
from getting in would do it, but I don't know if thats possible and have
a feeling it would lead to alot of problems.

Thanks.

Tyler
