AW: completely disable quarantine?

[Mark Martinec]

Jo,

> How can I completely disable the quarantine?  I don't use it, I've never in 
5 or 6 years now had to go looking for something in it…  but I keep finding 
50k files in that directory.  Obviously a cron find -exec rm command is an 
option, but can I simply disable it entirely?

Thats one way to do it (the more unusual), but only applies to
spam (not to viruses or banned content).

Yes, that's fine.

According to:

  http://www.amavis.org/amavisd-new-docs.html#quarantine

the quarantine can be disabled by setting $QUARANTINEDIR to undef,
or setting each $*quarantine_to or $*quarantine_method to undef.
