I'm now running 4.56.8 and I don't get the above (crystal clear) log
message, instead I get the old: Virus Scanning: Denial Of Service
attack detected!

There's no sign of it getting quarantined either, maybe it is but I
can't tell from the logs. Every time I get a DoS attempt I want to
check out the message because it's often legit mail causing it. A
message like this would be helpful:

Virus Scanning: Denial Of Service attack is in message k7GDK0Nb020871.
Message quarantined.

Then you know what happened to which message.
