Hi Robert,

the idea with the quarantine feature is that it gives the SA a chance to
review virus or otherwise tagged messages instead of
rejecting/dev-nulling them right away.

The quarantine queue is pretty much like the main message queue, except
it is generally managed with the '-qQ' option to mailq and sendmail.
Refer to the manpage for a complete description and usage examples.

A quick google search also reveals a few ready made sendmail quarantine
managers.
