That wouldnt be a very good feature for innocent guys like me who would recieve the abuse messages. The amount of traffic those types of viruses can generate would be a nightmare and might force me to block the notifying server.. The infected users usually find out rather quickly that they are infected from actual people.
The only way I could see that working is similar to Imails sent vacation list, in other words Declude would have to maintain a list of notified abuse addresses and the originating sender IP my nickel 98 Have a great day!
