Sobig.F notification question

I noticed this on the Mailscanner website regarding the Sobig.F virus:
 
"However, it is currently up to the individual system administrators to
keep this list up to date. If they haven't added "Sobig" to the list,
then their MailScanner will continue to issue warnings to the senders,
not knowing that they are fake."
 
After seeing this, I promptly went into my config and tried to find out
where this should be configured.  I'm assuming that I should add "Sobig"
to the end of the silent viruses line.  This is what my silent viruses
line looks like now:
 
Silent Viruses = Klez Yaha-E Bugbear Braid-A WinEvar Sobig
 
It doesn't say specifically on the mailscanner page that this is what I
need to do, so I wanted to double check that this is all that needs to
be done.
 
Have I properly configured my MailScanner so that it won't send replies
to Sobig virus identifications, or are there additional steps I need to
take?  Maybe on the Sobig page on the MailScanner site, there should be
an example so that other (sometimes clueless :) admins like me would
know what to do :)
 
thx
