Actually, what I want to do is change the original recipient of the
infected messages to point to a generic quarantine address, and then
deliver the email to that address. Something so that the helpdesk doesn't
have to access the SMTP server directly. Then they'll just check that
other mailbox (actually it'll be a shared IMAP folder) to look at any
quarantined messages. Though 99% of quarantined emails are worthless
anyway, that other 1% needs to be easily/quickly accessed by the
helpdesk staff.

Basically, I really like what I see in MailScanner, and want to replace
our existing AMViS install with it. Currently AMViS redirects infected
messages to a quarantine address, and I'm trying to avoid changing the
procedure our helpdesk has become accustomed to.
