Quarantined messages may be stored as an SQL quarantine.
Except for releasing from such quarantine (which is provided by amavisd),
the rest of the quarantine management and searching is not provide
by amavisd. Either use some existing third-party tools, or coin up
the SQL queries as needed.

The db files there are not for quarantine. These Berkeley db files keep
evidence of amavisd child process states (as displayed by amavisd-nanny),
and amavisd statistics counters, as displayed by amavisd-agent or
exported into SNMP by amavisd-snmp-subagent.
