Just Don't Do It
The only thing worse than stupid users who open mysterious email
attachments are stupid admins who set their virus filter to return mail
back to the 'From:' address saying 'You've sent us this virus'. Get with
the programme people - almost all viruses these days 'spoof' the email
headers - the 'From:' address isn't really who it is from. By sending a
mail to the 'From:' address you are basically contributing to the other
email annoyance: Spam. So take a hint from my book - DON'T DO IT.
Trap the virus, by all means, but don't show your ignorance by sending a
mail to the 'From:' or 'Reply-To:' addresses.
NB: As a Linux user, the chances of me contracting a
Windows virus which then sends you an email are 0 (zero, zip, nada, zilch,
etc)
