Re: [Declude.Virus] Correct me if I am wrong

You can use recip.eml to send a note that says "you were sent a virus", but none of the the current active viruses and only about half of the older ones have a valid sender. So, sending "an unknown person", who is claiming to be somebody else, is infected and knows your e-mail address is worse than useless. It generates questions and confusion. In our business (a newspaper) we have lots of different people sending us info, that we need. For example a school coach sending scores and stats from a game. While we try to have them sent "plain text", we still recieve a lot of info in Word, Excel, etc. IF (and it's getting rare) a Word Macro virus or signature virus like KAK is found, then sending both sender and reciever a notice, allows the users to know about the problem and work out a solution. I identify about 20 virus families as forging, then if check at the top of recip, sender and sender Postmaster for a forged sender. Also Scott recently added an automated way to block these and not have to update the configs with every new pest manually.
