I would add: "If anti-virus filtering software sends notifications to non-local recipients, then the sender address of the notifications MUST be an address that can be replied to, and this reply MUST reach a human being." Rationale: When my filtering software bounces all these stupid notifications, I want a person to get stuck with all the bounce messages, thereby encouraging him/her to turn off non-local notifications. -- David.
