Thanks Julian, I'll take a look at the option of filtering.

In the meantime, I've changed the text to:

  NoticeSubject = Warning: E-mail viruses or illegal attachments detected

and

  NoticeHeading = The following e-mail messages were found to have viruses
or illegal attachments in them

Cheers,

Phil
