Auto-notify sender

[Julian Field]

Recent versions of MailScanner have a list of viruses (look for
/opt/mailscanner/etc/viruses.to.delete.conf or
/usr/local/MailScanner/etc/viruses.to.delete.conf) for which no warning
messages are sent back to the senders.

Customise this list for the output from your own virus scanner and you will
be sorted.
