MTA = postfix
Quarantine Infections = yes
Quarantine Silent Viruses = yes
Quarantine Whole Message = yes
Quarantine Whole Messages As Queue Files = no
Keep Spam And MCP Archive Clean = yes
Spam Actions = store deliver
High Scoring Spam Actions = store

A high-scoring-spam message with a virus ends up with the message and
attachment in the normal quarantine *and* a second copy of the message
in the spam quarantine.

Yep. I've set it, see above. What I meant was to have one option for
controlling whether messages entering the quarantine are scanned for
viruses, and a second option to control whether they are deleted.
