Notify sender of viruses Only when they belong to my internal network

[Jorge Costinha]

i got it Steve,

     my default setting was

  Silent Viruses =  HTML-IFRAME All-Viruses

which means, all emails containing any viruses sent to my network their respective senders would not get notify, exception made for HTML-IFRAME.
I also had "Delivery Silent Viruses = no" which cause the "vanishing" of those internal emails, password protected. This explains why neither Sender or recipient got any warning.

This option have precedence than "Notify Senders of Viruses = yes". 


thanks to you i solve the problem this way:

Silent Viruses =  HTML-IFRAME
Delivery Silent Viruses = %rules-dir%/NotifyVirusRecipients.rules
Notify Senders of Viruses = %rules-dir%/NotifyVirusSenders.rules


contents of NotifyVirusSenders.rules

 From:            192.168.10.        yes
 FromOrTo:        Default            no

contents of NotifyVirusRecipients.rules

 FromOrTo:        192.168.10.        yes
 FromOrTo:        Default            no

Viruses Senders : from internal network they get a notification, from external they wont.
Recipients: from internal network they will be warned of the attempt, from external they wont.

once again, thanks a lot for your help!
