[Letter urging people NOT to send "You have a virus!" notification messages.]

That's an excellent letter.  In fact, I'm mulling over modifying
MIMEDefang so that if any *_contains_virus function says there's a
virus, the action_notify_sender routine will fail with a nasty log
message.  That should help prevent naive admins from creating annoying
filters.  (Of course, there will be a way to re-enable
action_notify_sender, but you'll have to make a conscious decision to
do so.)

Thoughts?

Regards,

David.
