Please for the sake of the internet can you STOP your servers sending virus notifications to the originators of the message as with today's modern virii 90% of virii use spoofed "from:" addresses.
Agreed. Even SuSE is sending those bounces (I got one).
Dear god these are annoying. I'm going to do some body_checks for postfix to filter these stupid things out. Dave.
Worse: a number of those bounces include the virus attached to the end of the email, which may trigger another bounce if the second machine has an antivirus email checker configured to bounce.
Antivirus email checkers should only notify the local recipient or sender, not the external one. And bounces should be limited in size and not include the virus (like the one I got from SuSE).
