Considering the amount of email traffic generated by responding to
forged  virus laden email from culprits like sobig should email virus
scanning systems be configured to send notifications back to sender or
not?

Considering that the "From" is almost always not the right one, I think
sending notifications back will only help to increase the mail traffic and
wont help anyone.
