    Don't notify the sender! In virus-infected mails, chance is good that
    the sender is faked anyway, so all that "functionality" does is harass
    the rest of the net. If anything, notify the receiver.

    FYI, I'm treating those "a virus has been detected" mails as spam, and
    SA is becoming quite good at killing them :-)
