That seems like a bug to me.  Or, at least, a design contradiction.

If the message is silently deleted, how will anyone know that you need
to pull it out of quarantine?  How will anyone find it if you don't
know where it was quarantined, because the report was never sent to
anyone?

It would seem to me that, even without an expansion to the rules
mechanism, silently deleted viruses shouldn't be quarantined.
