Denial Of Service Threshold?

[Greg]

We are using Sendmail 8.11.6 on RH 7.3. The bounces contain the text:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Any infected parts of the message (the entire message) have not been delivered.

This message is simply to warn you that your computer system MAY have a
virus present and should be checked.

The virus detector said this about the message:
Report: Denial of Service attack in message!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Which uses one of the MS templates. Is it possible that MS is receiving this
back from sendmail and just inserted the sendmail response into the MS
bounce template?

Thanks
