"yes" and "no" are not valid values for the "Silent Viruses" option. If
you want to separate out the Phishing.Bank mail from the All-Viruses
mail then just set

Silent Viruses = All-Viruses HTML-IFrame
Non-Forging Viruses = Phishing.Bank

The non-forging list effectively cancels out the Silent Viruses list for
any matching viruses.
