We use "tag & deliver" a.k.a second option. For some clients, maildrop
places the mail in appropriate folder. For others, we let the MUA decide
what to do with tagged mail.

Basically, quarantining is too much trouble for our end users and we don't
discard email for fear of false positives.

I suggest adding some simple maildrop/procmail recipies as examples to
help the uninitiated.
