Allthough I'm not 100% sure I don't think that the currently available
rulesets can do everything I want.

Mail to user1 at domain.net and user2 at domain.net is recognized as spam.
Now it should be quarantined in /var/mail/quarantines/domain.net/user1
and /var/mail/quarantines/domain.net/user2.

As I'm supporting more than 100 users I certainly don't want to hardcode
the path so something as /var/mail/quarantines/%domain%/%localpart is
needed. To make things more complicated the domain is only a lookup
key in a database (okay, that can be done with user defined
functions).

Another thing is the storage format. I won't use any mbox at all.
Maildir++ is definitely a must. AFAIK it is not possible with
MailScanner. Or quarantining a virus mail with _all_ (even the
infected) attachements.
