I already posted an ~/.procmailrc filter for the last worm that spread
around. For this one, I found the following recipe:

:0
* > 30000
* < 34000
{
:0 BD
*
^aUgARAc4MDRN03QDKCQcGBDTLLvXCCMD\+Cnw6E3TNE3g2NDIvLQ0TdM0rKSclIzONk3TiHxwaClv$
/dev/null
}

The line after ":0 BD" and before "/dev/null" is actually one single
line.
