quarantined

In order to reduce some the of strain on mailman, I decided to take a look at the qmail-scanner-queue.pl script that is part of the qmailrocks distribution to see if I could convince spamassassin to delete obvious spam. It turns out that there are settings in the script to quarantine as well as delete spam based on the assigned spamassassin score. By default, this feature is turned off. However, virus scanning also quarantines messages and it is turned on by default. So, similar to when I fixed the exim problem, we have 27000+ quarantined messages taking up space on the server. As well, the log files for the qmail-scanner haven't been rotated since the installation so they're huge as well. All part of the fun.
