 Notifications??

The notifications on my site goes always to the "recipient". Because:


No notification at all is bad in case the mail is a 'false positive'.

Notification the sender is a very bad ideas, because all "From:" in the
latest generation of viruses are fake adresses. It would hit the same
person.

The recipient could easily filter the (short and harmless) virus
notifications.

Sending all those notification to the recipient is worse than spam... This is my point of view.



2) If a virus scanner finds a virus, Is it useful to quarantine it?

No, but it could be a false positive.

A false positive from a virus scanner??? And how can you check it?



 3) I can reject a virus in the smtp session instead of notifying the
 sender...

This would be a great idea.


 4) Woul be useful to add a "delete_virus_array" similar at
 "silent_virus_array"?

Yes. Good idea.
