Yes. What you see is a "bad attachment" informational mail.
You can turn it off via the following options in MailScanner.conf


# Do you want to notify the people who sent you messages containing
# viruses or badly-named filenames?
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Notify Senders = no

# *If* "Notify Senders" is set to yes, do you want to notify people
# who sent you messages containing viruses?
# The default value has been changed to "no" as most viruses now fake
# sender addresses and therefore should be on the "Silent Viruses" list.
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Notify Senders Of Viruses = no

# *If* "Notify Senders" is set to yes, do you want to notify people
# who sent you messages containing attachments that are blocked due to
# their filename or file contents?
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Notify Senders Of Blocked Filenames Or Filetypes = no

Cheers,
Ronny
