Adding the action_quarantine_entire_message() and enabling
send_quarantine_notifications() in filter_end results indeed
in a message being put in Quarantine and a notification of
this message to the administrator.

I'm also able to get the virus name into the quarantine message.
But it seems that the variable $VirusScannerMessages stays empty.

In mimedefang.pl I have found the options that are being used
when scanning files and I tested them against an EICAR test file
and this gives the following result:

[root at mailserver /]# clamscan -r --stdout --no-summary --infected
~jprins/eicarcom2.zip
/home/jprins/eicarcom2.zip: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND

[root at mailserver /]# fpscan --report --archive=5  --scanlevel=4
--heurlevel=3  ~jprins/eicarcom2.zip

F-PROT Antivirus version 6.2.1.4252 (built: 2008-04-28T16-56-20)

/home/jprins/eicarcom2.zip->eicar_com.zip->eicar.com
[Contains infected objects]     /home/jprins/eicarcom2.zip


Results:

Files: 1
Skipped files: 0
MBR/boot sectors checked: 0
Objects scanned: 3
Infected objects: 1
Files with errors: 0
Disinfected: 0

Running time: 00:01

I would have expected to see this output in $VirusScannerMessages.
