Note that the subject says "notify the RECEIVER", not the sender. But I still think it's a bad idea. If the virus was successfully deleted, why bother the intended recipient about it? The days of real user-to-user emails with an added-on infection are also over, for all practical purposes.
But this is getting off topic (if it ever was on topic!)

All the current mail worms use spoofed sender addresses anyway so you will just add to the Net's background noise and/or end up with undeliverable mails in your outgoing queue. And think of all the folks your mails would bother who never even sent you an e-mail. Users here get confused by this sort of stuff all the time -and then ask me about it for the umpteenth time... The days when these notifications made sense are definitely over! Regards Ralf G.
