They were mildly annoyed, but they were more disturbed by the fact that
their PC had a virus on it. (IIRC) Also IIRC, they did not have an AV
package of any kind on their system. :/
At the time, we might have also been sending warnings to "infected"
users; IIRC that was using the (MUCH more limited) RAV AV milter rather
than MD. After seeing the problems with that setup, I eventually found
MD and implemented a much more sane AV policy. I've also since dropped
RAV in favour of Clam.
