Hi Alex,

I'm using

Installed Packages
Name        : amavisd-new
Arch        : noarch
Version     : 2.10.1
Release     : 5.el7
Size        : 3.1 M
Repo        : installed
>From repo   : epel
Summary     : Email filter with virus scanner and spamassassin support
URL         : http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/
Licence     : GPLv2+ and BSD and GFDL
Description : amavisd-new is a high-performance and reliable interface
between mailer
            : (MTA) and one or more content checkers: virus scanners, and/or
            : Mail::SpamAssassin Perl module. It is written in Perl,
assuring high
            : reliability, portability and maintainability. It talks to
MTA via (E)SMTP
            : or LMTP, or by using helper programs. No timing gaps exist
in the design
            : which could cause a mail loss.

from CentOS 7.1.

I followed this serverworld guide for initial setup;
http://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=CentOS_7&p=mail&f=6

If there is no database backend am I safe to just remove the files from
my quarantine directory?

6.3.2 Maintenance

gives me the impression I have more to clean up than just files?

thanks for the fast response Alex,

Michael
