Correct.
Every time I receive a new worm I add a new rule to this filter (takes
about 3 minutes of work), and I'm never bothered by this worm cluttering
my inbox again. And it's not like I have to worry about hudreds of worms -
my rule is only 15 lines, and takes care of all worms which are available
today. No need to buy an anti-virus for me...
Of course, I never claimed that such simplistic filtering can replace all
functions of a good anti-virus.
Here's my complete rule, in all it's splendor (ugliness, actually)
Sorry, Omer, about continuing to spam this mailing list on this issue -
but others keep bringing it up again and again...

virus

With disks costing pennies per megabyte, A 'virus' file is equivalent to
a /dev/null, with the added value of me being able to rectify mistakes
(if I write a rule wrong) do statistics, perhaps later warn all the senders
that they have viruses, or whatever. Not to mention that I now have a nice
collection of viruses, so you wouldn't want to be my enemy :)
The space this 'virus' file takes up over the /dev/null solution, around
2MB per day (on the bad days) is insignificant in the big scheme of things
(and bzip2 compresses it to only 10%, if you want, or just delete it every
couple of days).
