Nothing is too strong a word for viruses. Why would you ever think about allowing to pass a message infected with a virus? All that have been seen are bogus messages, and would server no purpose to the recipient at all, even if cleaned. End Users should have no control over this, as most can not even keep their AV up to date and will open an e-mail just because it says it is from support or admin. To date, no virus is using the vulnerabilities, but lots of spam does. Declude Virus has plenty of options available in it right now, what with the different notifications, banning extensions, detecting forging viruses and such. As far as the question about how do I know, that is where notifications come in. There notifications for virus infected messages, notification for vulnerabilities, for banned extension. Example, on vulnerabilities, the notice goes to the sender, recipient and myself. Then, if the recipient wants it, he sends a message and I then requeue it for delivery. If it becomes a pattern, we communicate with the sender to fix the problem.
