Regarding quarantining complete messages. I am running MS 3.22 on a
Linux 2.4 (Suse) with sendmail 8.11.6.
I my conf-file I have:
Quarantine Dir     = /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine
Quarantine Whole Message = yes

If I go to /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/<date>/<QID>/ I find two
files. One file with the attachment (filename = name of attachment) and
one file named message. This file contains the complete message and not
the df and qf pair.

The good thing about this is I can just do
sendmail -F"[full-name]" -f[sender] [recipient] < message
