I prefered this! Simple, the least work for the sysadmin, no risk for
filesystems filling up...
If I receive a mail with a virus, I add the Sender to a list wich is being
used by sendmail to bounce. This way, an infected pc sending a lot of
mails only generates one mimedefang-session.
During the night this lists is reset, and in the bounce-message, I mention
an URL where a user can remove his name from this list.
