amavis /var/lib/amavis/tmp and virusmails

Hello,

Just used a tutorial to install postfix and amavis. It works perfectly, it filters out spam and virusses. But it keeps copies in it's quarentine /var/lib/amavis/tmp and /var/lib/amavis/virusmails. Is there a command to clean out those directories? Or can i write a script to clean out those directories? other wise the filesystem fills it self till death?

Thankz,
Peter

 

You can change the amavisd configuration to not quarantine mails.

 

Hi,

Why does Amavis quarantine these mails. Does Amavis use these emails or is it only for the administrator to see wich emails are spam?

 

Where i can find that? I'm using debian lenny. on conf.d i i see no quarentine references?

 

I think it's somewhere in the /etc/amavisd/conf.d/ directory.

 

heheh i didnt make myself clear.. on conf.d a have the following files:
01-debian 15-av_scanners 25-amavis_helpers
05-domain_id 15-content_filter_mode 30-template_localization
05-node_id 20-debian_defaults 50-user

but no references to quarentine...

 

still nothing!! i think i have to put something on those files? maybe on 01-debian?

also i dont have any amavisd.conf ?

any sugestions?

Thanks people
