Sender-notification is of questionable value... many viruses fake the
sender address.

To actually receive notifications, you have to call
send_quarantine_notifications() as the last thing in filter_end();
otherwise, MIMEDefang is silent about quarantining messages.

Also, your notifications might not go out if you aren't running
a clientmqueue runner.  Sendmail 8.12 splits message submission
from message relaying, and you need to run a client queue runner; consult
the sendmail docs for details.

(MIMEDefang sends out notifications in "deferred" mode to reduce load
on your server.)
