Jeff

from the EXAMPLE file in the rules dir..
###################################
7. Only quarantine some viruses

    Set "Quarantine Infections = /etc/MailScanner/rules/quarantine.rules".
    Virus:       sobig                   no
    Virus:       default                 yes
###################################

Also I'd change the

Virus:  Phishing.Bank   no

to

Virus:  Phishing   no

so it covers paypal/ebay phishing attempts etc (or phishing frauds if
you can get your mouth around tongue twisters :-)
