Symantec (back when it wwas Norton AV) used to generate some false 
positives in their desktop AV products, so I'm leary of just dropping 
messages.  If I refuse delivery, I don't feel any responsibility for the 
NDN generated by some other system.  They should not have accepted the 
mail for relay anyways, unless it truly was from an authorized user, in 
which case they deserve the bounces.
