Well, yes; if you resend messages as in your example, they will loop,
because as of Sendmail 8.12, even locally-generated messages pass
through milter.  You need a way to detect resent messages and *not*
resend them.  The most reliable way is to check $RelayAddr (which
should be 127.0.0.1) and not resend those messages.

In your situation (saving infected e-mails), you should use
action_quarantine_entire_message() to put the message in the
quarantine directory.

If you send me the name of the binary I should be looking for and the
directory it's in, I'll update configure.in.  In the mean time, you
can "manually" set the path like this in your filter:

# Put this right at the beginning of the filter
$Features{"Virus:AVP"} = '/full/path/to/avp/scanner';

Beware: If scanner return codes have changed since the last release,
it might not work!  Please check mimedefang.pl, subroutine
"interpret_avp_code".
