How to quarantine only Phishing stuff from Clam?

Julian,

My daily report of who is sending viruses from our own domain has
been showing Phishing stuff caught by ClamAV, coming from my own
webmail server.

A sample of what gets emailed to me via "Notices to", and then boiled
down by a perl script:

j29LMw3X004268: 137.146.210.58 (username)
ClamAV Module: msg-21083-102.txt was infected: HTML.Phishing.Bank-111

I want to investigate, ie quarantine the offending messages.  But I
don't want to quarantine tons of crap.  I have

Quarantine Infections = yes
Quarantine Silent Viruses = no

and I want to set up a ruleset specifying silent viruses.  Would this
be right?

%localrules-dir% = /etc/MailScanner/rules
Silent Viruses = %localrules-dir%/silent-viruses.rules

where the silent-viruses.rules looks like:

Virus:  All-Viruses             yes
Virus:  HTML-IFrame             yes
Virus:  Phishing.Bank   no

Do I need to specify a default here?
