But that just doesn't happen in the real world.

None of the current viri infect documents that you may send to another 
user. All they do is create their own fake emails with deployment 
attachments, and then send themselves to everyone they can, while 
claiming to be from anyone EXCEPT who they are really from.

So there won't be an instance where a real attachment that you really 
sent to someone will be flagged by AV software as having a virus. As 
such, there won't be an instance where those bounce emails EVER go to the 
person that really sent the virus.

So they should stop sending the bounces.
