As an SMTP filter, zdkimfilter can reject, but it cannot quarantine.  That is 
MDA's territory.  It passes quarantine information in an A-R comment[*].  If 
there was a standard way to convey that info, it could be used by MUAs as well 
as by any other software not specifically designed around zdkimfilter's 
idiosyncrasies.
