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.
