[Esd-l] Discouraging SECURITY_NOTIFY_SENDER

Hi John and everybody else,

I've been noticing that quite a few administrators keep the option SECURITY_NOTIFY_SENDER
active thus flooding innocent people with false warings. As everybody knows, nowdays
there's hardly a virus which doesn't forge the return addresses making this option quite
useless.

What I'm suggesting is to place a big warning on the Sanitizer documentation near this
option discouraging the use of it. If it defaulted to '', it would be even better.
