Tom, I agree, but I have users that want to be notified that they had an email destined to them and it was stopped for AV reasons, how would you propose to answer this request?
I have no plan to notify the sender, rather to notify the recips, of course assuming it is a valid recip address which my system will do when passed down the queue...

There is a very good reason to NOT send notification to all: Almost all virii/trojans/worms these days do not contain the e-mail address of the _real_ sender. Neither my clients nor I need or want to be notified that someone else sent you a bad e-mail. If it is important to you to notify, take the time to study headers and notify the abuse folks of the ISP the real sender is using. To the admins (me for one) of busy servers, these false notifications become SPAM ... completely meaningless, unwanted and time consuming.
