You need to be storing the quarantine files in "raw queue files" format

# When you quarantine an entire message, do you want to store it as
# raw mail queue files (so you can easily send them onto users) or
# as human-readable files (header then body in 1 file)?
Quarantine Whole Messages As Queue Files = yes

Otherwise there is no need to use the df2mbox script at all, as the
quarantined files are already readable whole messages.
