RE: To send or not to send 'virus in email' notifications?

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?

IMO: No. I have had around 200 of these alerts this morning alone, most of which originate from POSTMASTER@somedomain which received email using my forged address. I can't blithely ignore the postmaster, but I'm sorely tempted to filter them. Side note: I'm seeing about a 20x increase in smtp traffic over the daily norm. -John
