What about notifying the postmaster/admin with different message (to normal
virus alerts etc) saying a non-spoofing virus was detected and dump the
headers etc in the same message.  Then it's up to the mail admin what they do
about it.

This way a procmail recipe with a neat script could automate a response, or if
you're like me, you'd just bin it :P  Virused users deserve everything they
get....unless they're internal ;)
