Absolutely NOT. If you ever send any sender notices for viruses here,
you will be filtered rather quickly. Virus sender addresses are "always"
forged, and notices of blocked viruses are the least welcome type of
spam we receive. I'd rather get any other type of spam than bogus "you
sent a virus" notices....

Viruses should be quietly discarded or quarantined. No sender notices
of any sort. A well designed quarantine may notify the recipient in
many cases, but never the sender.
