It's late of course, but here's the recipe Randal Schwartz posted when
this question came up on another list:

    I'm using this with pretty good success against both SWEN and SOBIG:

        # http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/spamblock.html
        # gaaaah!
        :0 BHh
        * ^Content-Type: multipart/(mixed|alternative)
        * ^Content-Type:.*(audio/x-|application|x-rasmol)
        * name=.*\.(scr|com|bat|pif|lnk|exe)
        $HOME/sobig.f

    Of course, it traps *any* MS executable, but you shouldn't be getting
    those anyway, right?

    The headers end up in the file (anachronistically named here).

Looks like a decent, general purpose solution to me.
