The correct solution to false positives (IMHO) is to be extremely conservative
in regard to dropping email. Only a confirmed virus should be dropped on the
floor. Any other rejection of a message should be a code 55x in the SMTP
protocol.
If you reject a message with a 55x and a suitable message then the author of
the message can find another method of contact and there is no loss merely
inconvenience.
