NAME

       Mail::Milter::Module::VirusBounceSpew - milter to reject antivirus messages typically sent to forged "senders"

SYNOPSIS

	   use Mail::Milter::Module::VirusBounceSpew;

	   my $milter = new Mail::Milter::Module::VirusBounceSpew;

	   my $milter2 = &VirusBounceSpew; # convenience

DESCRIPTION

       This module rejects messages at the DATA phase by searching for known signs of misconfigured antivirus software.  An increasing problem on
       the Internet as of this writing is a tendency for viruses and trojans to send mail with a forged envelope from address.	This is triggering
       antivirus warning messages back to these forged senders.

METHODS

       new()
	   Creates a VirusBounceSpew milter object.  The match rules are internally hardcoded and may be examined by reading the module source.

       set_message(MESSAGE)
	   Sets the message used when rejecting messages.

	   This method returns a reference to the object itself, allowing this method call to be chained.

BUGS

       The rules could be much simpler, but at risk of catching legit mail.  A future release will simplify the regex tests.
