its seems an obvious futility to send a notice 
from a spoofed header. it may be useful to
request the steps & reg files necessary to turn off
this misfeature from the various virus scanner ceo's.
although I hesitate to suggest everyone bounce
these notices with yet another email telling admins
how to stop contributing to the problem. 
better idea would be to delay any bounce a few days.
instant notification is no help in any case.
any notice could be just sent to the postmaster.
since nobodys in charge I guess its like too much
water, you build a dam or live with the flooding.


heres one that gets it, but no solution in sight.
