That does not work any more. I have skipped on the whole notification
stuff, since it confuses (l)users too much.

I had people sending me hate mail ("You sent me a virus !") when Klez
was using my address. I had local users spending the day with phone
calls to "sort out" bogus virus alarms.

My conclusion: Do not send automated notifications. Never. To noone :)

For postmaster notifications, you can use a logwatch-type software with
email facilities.

If you REALLY still want notifications, you can prolly set them up in
the system filter (use "pass" as action), where you can evaluate
exiscan_data to see what the message contains and the discard the message.
