Is there really any point now in sending out "virus detected" type warning

Just wondered what others on the list do concerning this, is it some sort of
unwritten duty that we as server operators should send these notifications,
or does it just qualify as wasted bandwidth?

Hi Phil,

I do not deliver them to the recipients, do not bounce them to the sender (who probably does not exist and if they do, were forged) and send myself a notification so that I am still aware of what is going on.

Cheers!
