If an attachment fails the filename checking, and the attachment is not
being saved to disk (i.e. "Action = delete", then the badly-named
attachment will be replaced by the "Delete Bad Filename Report".

If an attachment fails the virus checking, and the attachment is not being
saved to disk (i.e. "Action = delete", then the badly-named attachment will
be replaced by the "Delete Virus Report".

>Deliver To Recipients = no

That stops the cleaned up messages being delivered to the recipient.

>Action = delete

That controls what happens to infected/badly-named attachments. If set to
"delete" then the original attachments are thrown away, and the "Delete *
Message Report" will replace the original attachment. If set to "store" or
"keep" then the original attachments are saved in the quarantine, and the
"Stored * Message Report" will replace the original attachment.

Hope that helps explain it...
