recipient notification on blocked files

[Steven Andrews]

They not caught by clam, well, when they're actual viruses, yes; but we get a fair amount come in that are caught as bad content.  It does block the file, but the message, sans attachment, flows to the recipient.

Looking for a way to make it NOT flow to the recipient.

It might just delete the attachment, not the whole message.
The bogus exe files inside zip files should be caught by your virus
scanner anyway.
