From the amavisd.conf.dist file:

    # Adjust the path of the binary and the virus database as needed.
    # 'vascan' does not allow to have the temp directory to be the same as
    # the quarantine directory, and the quarantine option can not be disabled.
    # If $QUARANTINEDIR is not used, then another directory must be specified
    # to appease 'vascan'
