A message might be sent to the envelope sender, indicating that the message
is being embargoed and that there may have been a virus in it.

A message should be sent to the envelope recipients (i.e. the local
recipients) telling them how to retrieve their messages and warning
them that the message might contain a virus.

The message headers should NOT be scanned for addresses to forward the
warning to.
