PLEASE MAKE SURE that it doesn't send email responses.

I'm getting 500 mydoom an hour.  I can filter those.
I'm getting 1500 AV-responses an hour.  I can't filter those.

worse are the MTA's that send the mail anyway with the virus renamed to .txt.....

I dedicated a nice section of my access file for blocks that do exactly that:
