Since it is well known that virii forge From headers the better policy adjustment would be to NOT bounce virii messages at all. The Anti-Virus companies are certainly well aware of it as it is a characteristic described in their alerts. Many of these bounces triggered by virii are nothing less then a spam opprotunity for the A-V software company. There is no "opt-out" from these spam messages. This would seem to be a clear violation of CAN-SPAM. Some sites have implemented various schemes to reject virii at the smtp level.
