Read through the @viruses_that_fake_sender_maps settings.
If the virus is listed in this section, then no bounce will occur. In
real life, the sender usually is faked, so I think it is not a good
idea to confuse innocent victims by notifying them that they sent a
virus, when in fact they have not.

I think you would have to make changes in that section as it appears
it is set to assume every virus sender address is faked (version 2.3.2)

[qr/^/ => 1], # true by default (remove or comment-out if undesired)

I personally would set $final_virus_destiny = D_DISCARD;
and forget about sender notifications for viruses.
