Running Trends ScanMail, so we don't have an option to send notifications
based on virus type.  Good idea though!

Actually, a reasonable compromise for Antigen users is to disable
notifications for worm senders, which includes all the sender spoofing mass
mailers, but enable notifications for virus senders, which covers the macro
viruses that still turn up sporadically.

I appreciate all the feedback.  After reviewing the posts, I guess we will
have to re-evaluate the sender notification messages.  I'm starting to lean
toward turning the notification off.  Or possibly a combination of both?
Turning off when we have an outbreak of a new virus that spoofs like KLEZ
and then turn the notification back on when it subsides.  As I re-read this,
that doesn't sound good either.  Time to make a decision and stick with it I
guess.

Off topic.

With the advent of Klez and various other viruses who spoof the sender we
are starting to get complaints from users who are receiving the sender
notifications messages from our ScanMail virus scanner who did not actually
send any virus.  I know we can turn off the notification, but then users who
are sending viruses will not get notified that they are infected.  Kind of a
catch 22.  I'm curious what other administrators policies are regarding
notification messages to the sender.  Have you disabled sender notifications
or are you just living with it?
