I've set up amavis with clamav on my machine (Debian, MTA = Postfix) and
it certainly seems to be finding viruses.

However, I'm wondering whether I keep be the default setup, or tell
amavis not to warn the sender that they have a virus. Its config file
claims that it knows which viruses forge senders, but it looks like I
have to update this by hand (practically every new virus forges senders,
it seems).

And of course, I don't want to contribute to the growing "you have a
virus!" warning message problem which is growing as fast as the viruses
themselves.

What are people doing with their virus scanners? Not warning senders?
Warning only senders of non-forging viruses? How do you keep your
"forging" list up to date?
