Don't notify the sender.

You'll just be generating unnecessary mail.  In the case of most
virus-generated emails, which are the ones you are going to be
detecting, the sender address will be faked.  Therefore, any
notification would go to the wrong person in any case.

Log the messages by all means, delete them automatically if you wish,
but don't notify anyone (except possibly your local system
administrator).
