Additionally, you should probably alert the virus recipient that mail to
them was blocked, rather than notifying the alleged virus sender; it's
not clear if the user you're notifying is local or remote. Two years ago
when viruses weren't forging random senders into themselves notification
would've been considered a courtesy; now it's considered a big rude
waste of bandwidth. Automatic virus notifications to forged senders is
almost as abusive and destructive as sending the virus itself.

If you need to notify someone of a blocked virus, notify a local user
and let them work with the sender to fix the problem. Above all, place
the burden on your local network, not the rest of the world.
