I would add:
"If anti-virus filtering software sends notifications to non-local
recipients, then the sender address of the notifications MUST be an
address that can be replied to, and this reply MUST reach a human
being."
Rationale: When my filtering software bounces all these stupid notifications,
I want a person to get stuck with all the bounce messages, thereby encouraging
him/her to turn off non-local notifications.
