This is part of our reasoning, but in line with that... The recipient is often in a position to notify the sender that they have trouble - usually a business associate of some kind. The opportunity for them to watch out for eachother is also good for them - and we like to facilitiate that. Often the person sending out the virus has no idea they've been infected - so this kind of rapid response is a good thing - the theory has proved itself out again just today. _M Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
