In which case your virus scanners aren't up to date. This is the mimail
virus which Sophos can certainly detect, F-Prot appears to be having some
problems with this virus. Make sure you have the files
         /usr/local/Sophos/ide/mimail-a.ide
and
         /usr/local/Sophos/ide/maila.ide

If you are missing either of these files, your Sophos is out of date and
needs to be replaced with the latest version so that the autoupdates work.

From:   admin@* yes
