Question with virus-rejected emails,

[MrE (Enrique D)]

Saludos! I mean Greetings!

I raised the clamav symbols when it detects a virus:

If an email is rejected because it has a virus detected and if the sender or the attacker has a way to receive email (legit sender):
Does this one receive a mail back informing of the rejected for having a virus detected?

Why the question? in case of a legitimate sender I want them to know the cause and hopefully they can correct their problem.
If they don’t get notified, no problem… except for me since my users are going to start nagging about why they don’t get their virus… err mail.

@MrE

Yes, the common “Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender” mail is sent including a “Virus found” message.
