AMAVIS had a solution a long ago

Parent article: On the value of virus notifications

For me it was simple: just turn off "offsite notifications" (which is indeed turned off by default). I mean send warnings only to users in your own domain and don't pollute the Net.

I can really see the difference. The postmaster receives no e-mails that "something must be wrong about your server; we have no virus because we've got the best antivir software...." where there were dozens of them before :)

But I have no plan to turn off notifications for local users. It's perfect for them to know which e-mail has been destroyed on the server - just in case they wait for some important letter. I always tell them that it's good that it is only a notification, and not the real virus...

Just my lame proposal...
