Is there a way to shut off mailscanner sending messages back to the sender,

bounceback for the message reply to the sender and a message from
mailscanner, for every potentially bad message. An average of 350 messages
every 30 minutes bounce to admin.

Tom,

It sounds like you need to add the name of the virus to the "Silent Viruses" setting in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf. That will turn off notifications to the faked sender.

If you're having trouble with SoBig, you may find the viruses are coming from a small number of IP addresses you can just drop in /etc/mail/access.
