Virus scanning questions

[Alex Neuman]

Besides... Most of us running well-behaved MailScanner installations
*know* we're not sending viruses, so we'll usually eat your notification
message through rules or, if the volume is high enough, adding your
postmaster@, domain name or IP block to our access control rejection
lists. ;)

Please turn this off since you will 'alert' a lot of innocent people. A
lot of the viruses out there ( maybe even most of them ? ) are being sent
with a random address from the addressbook of the victim. It's really
annoying to receive a massive amount of e-mail from lots of scanners like
yours claiming you have sent a virus.

Best regards,
