It would be nice if it had logging in the form of

>From <$1> To <$2> virus <$3>

Where $1 is basically the from field in the e-mail, $2 is the to field,
and $3 is what is reported by the virus scanner.  I know this won't be
accurate for things like klez, but it does let me gauge the growth of
other viruses to some degree.

This would allow easy tracking how much viruses are from local/remote
and what type of viruses are top one's etc...  I currently do manage
this through lots of awk,grep,perl, and some c routines to get data into
this form to report back to other agencies on how things are going at
our university.  Just a wish or my $0.02 worth
