another policy is to reject mail, so that it's not deleted and the sending mail server has no indication that the receiving mail server accepted it for delivery. Then it's up to the sending mail server to notify the sender of the rejection with the reason. I agree that once mail is accepted by the MX machine, the responsibility shifts to the the receiving site. Exception to this is we delete any and all mail that the AV box says is infected. The sender is notified of the deletion and reason.
