Nobody is questioning that - it is the desire to deliver it after rejecting it that is wrong on several levels. For example the sender will get a reject message and the recipient will not know that.

It is not a violation of protocol to reject a message during SMTP,

clamav-milter does not currently have a reject+inspect option, but
it probably wouldn't be much effort to add.  Open a bug/feature request.

There is not a violation of the protocol here.

What you want to do is best done using the local mailer and not SMTP.
Technically and literally you have accepted the message in your scheme and
are therefore responsible for delivery. You can't both send a reject and
deliver the mail - it violates the protocol and integrity of the messaging
system.

Using clamav-milter, is there anyway to reject virus infected messages AND
put them into a quarantine directory?

The reason I want to do this is that I want to reject virus messages while
the smtp connection is still alive, but after the fact, if there was a
false positive, I'd like to be able to send the message on through anyway
after the fact.
