You "think" !?   I suggest you use a virus scanner on your system - for
example ClamAV if you don't want to spend any money - it's been detecting
Sobig.F since about 09:45 GMT 19-8-3.

You want the "Silent Viruses" option once you have a virus scanner installed,
because there's no (easy) way to handle .pif attachments any differently from
any other blocked attachment - either they all get deleted, or they all get
bounced, etc.
