I was on the clamav-virusdb mailing list at one time, but no longer.  I recall 
getting daily email, regardless of whether I had submitted a sample that day or 
not, which means "Notify Me" has no effect.  Also, that email contains 
absolutely no information to correlate with my virus submission that I could 
ever discern.

For example, yesterday...
*Doc.Dropper.Agent-1400834
*Doc.Dropper.Agent-1400835
*Doc.Dropper.Agent-1400836, etc.

This tells me nothing about whether my submission was received, whether it was 
a duplicate, whether it was even a virus, or whether they consider my 
submissions to be spam.  If the clamav-virusdb mailing list is considered the 
result of "Notify Me" I would strongly suggest that the checkbox on the page be 
renamed "subscribe to virusdb mailing list", not "Notify Me".  There are 
completely different expectations in the choice of wording.
