I was thinking about this further, and how would I go about having XMail notify the recipient that an email did come through, but it had a virus so was deleted. Perhaps just send the headers on and no body/attachments. I just don't want to have mail disappearing if the AV starts acting up. Similar to my Spam filter, set the subject to something filterable by the client.
