[Mimedefang] Sending virus notification to an email

Don't do this.
This is exactly what I was complaining about.
Usually the return address is forged.
So all you are doing is notifying someone that someone has forged their
return address.

The generally agreed upon method for handling virus on the list is:
Virus's detected are, action_discarded.
And no notification is given.
The later versions of mimedefang won't allow you to notify if a virus has
been detected.
