Because the original notifications use to pi$$ people off so it was best not to send them.
I don't know if this is still the case but back in the early versions of declude the default message to postmaster was composed like this. *******************Declude Message************************************************** The Declude Virus v%VERSION% software on our mail server detected the %VIRUSNAME% virus that appears to have come from your mail server. It was sent in an attachment %VIRUSFILE%, from %MAILFROM% to %ALLRECIPS%, with the subject "%SUBJECT%". The Message-ID was: %MSGID%. This notice is sent as a courtesy so that you have the option of contacting your user and helping them get rid of the virus. This message was sent by Declude Virus. If this virus did originate from one of your users, you may want to consider adding virus protection to your mailserver. You can check the headers below to verify that the virus originated from your mailserver. **************************************************************************** ****** Since many viruses forge the sender and/or use their own smtp engine the messages tended to accuse people who were innocent kind of like bouncing spam will cause you to be a spammer. After receiving several of bogus messages from servers using declude I figured that postmasters that sent notifications for viruses were clueless. Just my 2 cents. Maybe it got better in later versions - I just never turned it on. Chuck Schick Warp 8, Inc.
