550 5.7.1 Virus detected by ClamAV - http://www.clamav.net

None of the above.  I'm referring to the text message in sendmail's
rejection.

How about something like:
550 5.7.1 Virus detected: Mydoom.f  (http://www.clamav.net/)

I might be doing something wrong, but my tests indicate that enabling
--quarantine causes sendmail to accept the message and then redirect it.
I want it to *reject* the message and filter it.  This guards against
false positives in two ways: the sender gets a bounce and resends it,
while the recipient has the option to look in their folder of caught
viruses.  I realize this could also be accomplished by enabling the
--bounce option, but with all the spoofed From: headers I find
generating any new email as a result of a virus to be morally wrong.
