Considering the amount of email traffic generated by responding to forged virus laden email from culprits like sobig should email virus scanning systems be configured to send notifications back to sender or not?

It's legitimate email from legitimate sources so the filters don't catch it but it is garbage nonetheless. -- D'Arcy J.M.
