I'll think about the layout before the new version appears. I've got a
contact at RedHat who will hopefully give me some advice on that.

What's wrong with
find /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine -type f -mtime +7 -exec /bin/rm -f {} \;

I would (vainly) hope that most mail sysadmins can do that... :-)

I was thinking of having n thresholds, but I can't figure out quite how.
Having 'high' and 'very high' thresholds will be a lot better than nothing
and should be do-able.
