Hi,
Sorry for the late reply.
What I want is that all mails with bad attachments are quarantained. 
Then some administrator can release these if they are expected and from 
known senders.
My problem was that a user complained about "lost" mail that was 
expected to have a "bad" attachment. Then I looked at the quarantaine to 
discover there was nothing in the quarantaine.
I didn't have complaints recently, so maybe there was another problem. 
But I'll keep an eye on this.
P.S. Is there an easy way to notify a local recipient that there is mail 
with a "bad" attachment (without sending the attachment) ? Of course 
that mail should have passed the virus checks.
