The whole idea is to modify /etc/mail/mimedefang-filter for your own
specific purposes.  So yes, do that.

Modify the filter so that instead of sending administrative emails,
they are being syslogged instead, eg:

    syslog ('warning', "$QueueID: quarantine=virus virus=$virusname file=$infectedfile");

Please don't do that.

Many viruses (especially bugbear) forge the sender address, so all
you'll end up doing is firing bullets at invalid email accounts or
innocent people.
