Sorry, didn't have time before.

# If you want processes running under the same *group* as MailScanner to
# be able to read the quarantined files (and list what is in the 
# directories, of course), set to 0640. If you want *all* other users to
# be able to read them, set to 0644. For a detailed description, if 
# you're not already familiar with it, refer to `man 2 chmod`.
# Typical use: let the webserver have access to the files so users can
# download them if they really want to. Use with care, you might open
# security holes.

Good enough?

cheers,
