Looks like it's been configured to notify everyone associated with
the email about the virus.

I suppose one such notification could be deemed useful, but if
several such notifications for arrive from various ScanMails for
every virus it would be more of a PITA.
Of course it would be even more of a PITA if ScanMail was sending
such notifcations to everybody concerned for emails that *might*
contain an unknown virus due to some policy setting (e.g. email
contains a ".bat" attachment).

One could be useful, assuming people recognize the ScanMail
messages and read them *before* the infected mail! (Hmm - that
looks like a good way to disguise a virus - make it look like an
anti-virus notification!)
Of course, we wouldn't get so many if the list filtered viruses as
effectively as ScanMail!
