I use amavisd-new which has support for listing viruses/worms 
that fake
the sender's email address. Unfortunatelly the list is external to the
actual virus scanner and has to be updated manually.

Given that the majority of new viruses forge the sender's email address, I
think the reverse would make more sense -- have a list of viruses that
*don't* forge, and only send notifications for those.
