DJGPP programs themselves are set up thusly, and they have had this
problem in the past.

You used the word "virus".  My generic email filter blocks those; use
news if you must or use "virii" or "vir*s" or something.  No, I won't
change it - there are WAY too many virus rejection messages that would
get through otherwise.

I just don't have a unique message for each type of bounce I do.
