The notifications serve a valuable purpose primarily to notify my customers that they have virus-protected email. For forging viruses a responsible admin has to use skipifvirusnamehas to shut them off. I do not send notices to the sender... Not my problem, imho.

JunkMail (E-mail) Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Declude notification and SoBig assault. I have been swamped with notifications to postmaster that one of our mail server sent SoBig/F to their mail server. Since Sobig/F seems to forge the from address and use its own SMTP process - it definetely does not come from our servers. I am finding these notification annoying, waste of time, and sometimes insulting. Here is a snip from one of the canned notifications from someone who uses declude AV. "If your mail server had better virus protection, it would have caused less work for our server and could have prevented one of your users from getting a virus." Getting one or two of these a week does not bother me - getting over a thousand in two days is overload. What opinion do others have about these notifications? So many of these viruses forge the from address, I do not even pay attention to most of these notifications.
