Instead of telling MailScanner to 'deliver' the mail, tell it to 'store' it
(and set both Quarantine Whole Message and Quarantine Whole Messages As Queue
Files to yes), and then whenever you're ready to deliver the spam, simply
move the files from the quarantine queue directory to the sendmail outgoing
mail directory (eg with a cron job).
