in /etc/mail/mimedefang-filter if you add the
if ($hits >= $req) {
action_quarantine_entire_message();
action_discard();
{
It will make a copy of the message in the quarantine
directory and then discard the message (this will
not prevent the message from being delivered, hence
calling the action_discard() is needed).
$req is taken from whatever you have configured
for a spam threshold in /etc/mail/spamassassin/sa-mimedefang.cf
At least that's how I have it running, and it seems to
be fine.
