Such a long time phew!
This is about qmailscanner. In the file quarantine-events.txt there's a default policy whereby mails with certains extensions (.exe, .bat, .gif) are deleted (or rather quarantined) by the server and no notification what-so-ever is sent back to the sending or the recieving user.

You can imagine what happens when the clients don't recieve emails which are sometimes important ( or in some case vvvvery imp) because the system deleted them 'coz the email had a gif file included or attached to it. Not all gif files are bad.
My question is: okay the system deleted the files and I can prevent it to delete the emails with .gif extensions but then not all of them are good either. What I want to do is send a notification back to the sending user that there email send to blah-blah reciever using our mail services has been deleted due to the following reasons and hence they should correct the problem before trying to send again. Can this be achieved by modifying some parameters in this file? This file is not so self explanatory as for me to read it and understand how to do it. Can somebody please help explain this file to me?
TIA.
