From my point of view, it's OK doing it this way.

When your virus scanner notifies exim that there is a virus in the
data the other server has just transmitted, exim will reject the
corresponding mail.
Thus, there's no chance in putting the correspoding files into a
quarantie directory.

Sorry, but I just didn't get your point...

If you want your mail server to quarantine infected files, just take a
look at MailScanner (see <http://www.mailscanner.info>).
MailScanner can also invoke an "external" virus scanner and can
additionally pass the email to SpamAssassin. To make it "perfect", it
can also "disarm" potentially dangerous HTML code (Forms etc.).

Regards,
Christian
