Don't notify the sender! In virus-infected mails, chance is good that
the sender is faked anyway, so all that "functionality" does is harass
the rest of the net. If anything, notify the receiver.

FYI, I'm treating those "a virus has been detected" mails as spam, and
SA is becoming quite good at killing them :-)
