[Mimedefang] Virus Notifications for Recipients

Hello All,

I'd like to send an email with virus notification for recipients internally 
(NOT for Senders) as we have had a few instances where something important 
was stripped.

Right now, I use this in filter_begin:

 if ($FoundVirus) {
        md_graphdefang_log('virus', $VirusName, $RelayAddr);
        md_syslog('warning', "Discarding because of virus $VirusName");
        return action_discard();
    }

I'm thinking about changing action_discard() to 
action_replace_with_warning($msg) with $msg something like "This email was 
discarded because it contained the virus $VirusName".

My hopes is that this will essentially just send a simple note to a user 
that they would have received a virus but now they are just receiving this 
little email.  Can anyone confirm or recommend a better solution?

Regards,
KAM
