I need all files that are removed to be quarantined and not deleted.

Hi Everyone,
 
This has been a recurring problem here and I've not be able to solve it
on my own. I REALLY need for MailScanner to quarantine EVERY file that
it removes from an email so that, if needed, I can use Pine (or some
such) to send that file to the intended recipient.
 
My boss had a zip file removed that he needs but I've looked everyone
and I can't find a file or a quarantine email even though I've got tons
of emails quarantined in /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/. I don't
know what's being quarantined or why. (So many options to choose from in
the MailScanner config.)
 
I don't want to allow all attachments for one (or more) users and I
don't want to allow all types of a certain files (e.g. zip files). I
want to keep the same rules as I have now but add the flexibility of
resending attachments if I need to.

How can I do this?

Here is the output from 'MailScanner -v':
