Notify Sender for attachments but not for viruses

[Julian Field]

Good point.
At the moment, as you have asked for notification of blocked filenames, it
will send the warning. Which isn't what we really want, is it? :-(
I guess having the "notify senders or viruses" take precedence would be
better. So if there is a virus and that option is set to no, skip the rest
of the checks.

How does that sound?
