Strikes me my first thought may be a poor choice. 

Wondering now what people generally do with infected mail?  That is, is there a 
general consensus?

Would it be "safe" (for the systems) to simply send the mail through, to the end
use and merely tag the subject line with "Virus Detected" as SPAM messages
are done?   Send them to a quarantine mailbox for human review?  Notify an 
administrator there is email being "held"?
