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.
Amen to that.
After just receiving more than 50 bounces and bogus virus reports from scanners all around the world claiming that I've sent them a virus in the last week, I'm more than a little grumpy with reply to sender virus scanners :)
I've taken to emailing back abuse@ and postmaster@ and attempting to edify them in why "reply to sender" is a bad idea.... no responses yet.... (none expected though :)
On top of that, the biggest ISP here in New Zealand has a "reply to sender" email virus scanner which even says in the body of the message that it may be replying to the wrong person in which case they should ignore it. Well duh! Spam anyone ? :) (And yes, their bogus virus reports are detected by both DCC and Razor now....)
