Hello,

Yes it seems the Sober worm is nasty, i have a qmail implementation with 
greylisting and we're doing a scan with ClamAV before it gets to the 
greylisting so virus mails are not making it that far (incoming)...  
however, i did just this morning receive a notice from a user unable to 
send out mail through our server now because we also have a RBL check 
installed.. the user's IP got blacklisted because their computer is 
infected.

I suspect that you may have some machines/users infected with Sober 
unfortunately.  For more info check out:

Regards,
Scot
